Election day is approaching fast.  Palm Beach County criminal defense and criminal appeals attorneys may want to pay close attention to 1 race in particular: the race for Palm Beach County State Attorney.  The Palm Beach Post recently published a short article outlining the three candidates, Dave Aronberg (D), Robert Gershman (non-party affiliate), and Dina Keever (R), here.

Recently, I went to a local bar function to hear the 3 candidates speak.  Dina Keever actually pulled a no-show.  Not very impressive.  Dave Aronberg was a good speaker, as always.    But I was most surprised by Robert Gershman.  He had a lot of good things to say about returning prosecutorial discretion back to the line prosecutors, and he has many years of experience as both a serious criminal defense lawyer and prosecutor here in Palm Beach County.  For more information about Robert Gershman, you can visit his campaign website by clicking here.  Dave Aronberg’s website can be seen here.  Dina Keever’s website can be seen here.
