OK, as we all head into this romantic Valentine’s weekend, why bother which “degree of grey” suits you best, when you can get those passionate juices flowing by just contemplating a bunch of lawyers in GREY SUITS? Seriously, think about it… A quiet
Now THAT’S a great expert witness! Joe Pesci finishes his direct examination of Marisa Tomei in “My Cousin Vinny” – #3 on the ABA’s list of Top 25 Movies on The Law
evening. You, your loved one. A quiet fire, a nice glass of wine. Who needs some silly romantic movie, when you have the option to watching one of The Top 25 Lawyer Movies as chosen by the American Bar Association a few years back?
Really, has Demi Moore ever looked hotter than in her JAG uniform in A Few Good Men? And is there anything more tender and loving than seeing Paul Newman haul off and cold-cock Charlotte Rampling in The Verdict? OK, OK – maybe that’s not the most romantic fare, BUT — My Cousin Vinny, is #3 on the ABA’s list, and that really IS a fun date movie. Besides having some great scenes between Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei, it has some of the funniest courtroom dialogue on film.
However, you decide to celebrate your love, be extra careful on the roads. (I’d rather not have you call saying that your romantic evening was interrupted by someone who had “one too many” veering into your lane!) Happy Valentine’s Day!

About Mike
Mike Daisley is a civil litigation attorney and Certified Mediator in Charlotte, North Carolina, and owner and president of "DaisleyLegal" a virtual law firm focused on helping victims of drunk driving injuries and other careless individuals and corporations. He devotes a significant time of his practice as a mediator in North Carolina's Superior Courts, using his 35 years of litigation experience to counsel and assist opposing parties to resolve their disputes and lawsuits cooperatively, avoiding the high expenses and time commitments involved in going to trial.
In addition to his commitment to Civil Trial Advocacy and Alternative Dispute Resolution, Mike is also an avid writer, and has a wide array of interests outside of his legal practice, including stints as a columnist for The Charlotte Observer, political analyst for WCNC-TV and WBT Radio. Mike’s biggest passion outside the law is learning and writing about theology, and especially the role doubt plays in faith, the role faith plays (or should play) in politics, and (as he puts it) the “beauty and deep mystery” of the liturgy.
Mike is a lifelong Episcopalian, and often jokes that means "I am a raging agnostic at least two or three days a week.” In 2019, he was appointed by the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina as a licensed Lay Preacher in the Episcopal Church.
