Lawyer of the Day: Wanda Jackson
Sometimes being named Lawyer of the Day is a matter of being in the right place at the right time. From the AP:
A woman is seeking an arrest warrant against suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones [pictured], claiming he punched her at an Atlanta strip club. Fulton County Magistrate Court officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Wanda S. Jackson asked for the warrant after a Jan. 3 altercation at the Body Tap Strip Club.
Jackson, an attorney, says in her filing that she was in the club's office when an angry Jones accused managers of stealing his money and bracelet.
"I was sitting in the office and he lunged at me numerous times in an effort to do grave bodily harm," Jackson wrote in the warrant application filed Jan. 7. "Veronica Jones, an owner, went into the hall to deal with a member of his entourage. I followed to gawk. He was in the hall, surprisingly reached over or around a security guard and sucker punched me in my left eye."
As for why a female attorney was at a strip club:
WSB-TV in Atlanta reported that Jackson said she was in the strip club because of a divorce case she is handling.
So what's the over/under on how long it will take Jackson to file a civil suit against Jones?

almost
firsty!
Lat I'm really disappointed about the lack of coverage for OMM. I realize it is not a major NY player, but as one of the largest law firms on the West Coast, it deserve some ink..
was he making it rain again?????
Jones is such a punk. There is no way he is coming back to Nashville, 8 to 1 odds he gets dropped this spring.
4:29 - right on.
It's Tuesday... I say she takes her time, re-reads the complaint at least 2x, and has it filed Friday AM.
Go eers?
with no games played last season, this could end up being his hardest hit of 08!
I'm not certain a divorce case was all she was handling.
Lawyers in my face,
for damn near days,
they say Pac, where u hang?
at Body Tap, where u thank?
When I'm in the club,
the rain's goin down.
When I'm near a lawyer,
they're going down.
I love representing strippers. Each and every one of my stripper clients has a special place in my heart.
ANOTHER MIAMI GRAD.
Fantastic. Lat, pls add the usual tag.
Girls from my TTT school got punched in the face by stripper loving NFL players all the time, it was no big deal.
Gets filed the day after he's arrested (assuming that takes a few days), so it can be referenced in the complaint.
Why wouldn't a female attorney be in a strip club? Ladies love the lap dances, too.
Over/under??? Check out Lat with the sports betting terminology! Atta boy.
Lat: How do you miss that she is a Miami grad? Shouldn't that have been the first thought? If you were a leprechaun, it would have been your first thought.
That Pacman Jones rap was great. Thanks Pacman.
PacMan Jones is introducing a new flavor for Ben & Jerry's.....Thug-A-Licious
Ms. Jackson has withdrawn her petition. So, she either made a false allegation or she has been intimidated or otherwise convinced that she is better off not pursuing the charge. Still think she is Lawyer of the Day material? Come to think of it, considering the moral fiber of the average lawyer, it's a fitting title.
