Strauss<BR/>Mark King, President of The Club Group<BR/>Attorney Charles A. Scarminach<BR/>Attorney Cory Fleming, Criminal Defense <BR/>Solictor Duffie Stone<BR/>Dennis Gerwing, CFO of the Club Group - Deceased<BR/><BR/>“Dan Saxon, an attorney who represents “The Club Group” and had previously served as Dennis Gerwing’s attorney until the matter escalated outside of his firm’s expertise”. There are two operative words here, one is “previously” represented Gerwing and the other is “represents the Club Group”. <BR/><BR/>"Dan Saxon’s Hilton Head law firm, Novit & Scarminach, referred Dennis Gerwing to a criminal defense attorney, Cory Fleming of Beaufort". AMAZING? “The two (Saxon and Gerwing) last spoke Monday”, Saxon said.<BR/><BR/>“On Monday afternoon, Cory Fleming called Dan Saxon’ Law firm (Novit & Scarminach) when he was unable to reach Dennis Gerwing, said Attorney Chuck Scarminach”.<BR/><BR/>"Attorney Dan Saxon and another Attorney Peter J. Strauss of (Novit & Scarminach), went to the villa where Gerwing was staying. They called Mark King, president of The Club Group, which manages the complex, to unlock the villa when no one answered the door". <BR/><BR/>“The three(Saxon, Strauss, and King) entered and encountered another locked door upstairs, said Scarminach, who wasn’t with them. They then called 911 when they heard no response”.<BR/><BR/>“Cory Fleming, the defense attorney, said Wednesday that he continues to represent Gerwing”. “His law firm is cooperating with authorities “to the extent we’re allowed to under the law,” said Fleming.<BR/><BR/>“What interesting is that Criminal Defense Attorney Cory Fleming of Beaufort continues to represent Gerwing”. REALLY? Surely by now, someone has told Attorney Fleming that Mr. Gerwing is deceased. Given that Fleming was unable to reach Gerwing on Monday, it’s unclear if Fleming even has authorization to represent deceased Gerwing or his estate at this point. Does Fleming have some kind of signed Power of Attorney or some other legal document signed by Gerwing that authorizes Fleming to continue to represent Gerwing?<BR/><BR/>“14th Circuit Solicitor Duffie Stone said he is receiving frequent briefings on the case and is providing legal advice to investigators”. Is this normal? You have a Solicitor receiving briefings on an ongoing investigation by FBI, SLED, BCSO? Is this normal for a Solicitor to give ongoing legal advice to the FBI, SLED, and BCSO during an investigation?<BR/><BR/>“The Club Group” lawyer(s) on Monday and this whole Criminal Defense Attorney Fleming thing happening and calling and speaking to the “Law Firm” yet never speaking with his client on Monday? WHAT? THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!<BR/><BR/>For Attorney Saxon and the Novit & Scarminach Law Firm to supposedly hand over their client Dennis Gerwing to Attorney Fleming is bizzarro-weirdo. Also, you can bet that Fleming just might exercise his Attorney-Client Privilege which may in turn impede the investigation. It’s worth looking into to see if he actually has that privilege. The fact that Fleming was called in by “The Firm” that represents the “The Club Group” speaks volumes about this case. <BR/><BR/>Also, WHY DID Attorney Dan Saxon, Attorney Peter J. Strauss, and Mark King go into Dennis Gerwing's Condo KNOWING THAT HE WAS A "PERSON OF INTEREST"?<BR/><BR/>WHY DIDN'T THEY CALL LAW ENFORCEMENT BEFORE GOING IN? ATTORNEY'S KNOW WHAT TO TO! THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!<BR/><BR/>Four Attorney’s, a King, a Solictor and Dennis Gerwing<BR/><BR/>http://www2.beaufortgazette.com/blogs/post/18439<BR/><BR/>"not cooperating" then "the extent we’re allowed under the law" <BR/>BCSO said:<BR/>"Mr. Gerwing has retained the services of counsel and is not cooperating with the Sheriff's Office in this ongoing investigation".<BR/><BR/>http://www.bcso.net/Recent%20News/20080311_CalvertCase_Gerwing.php<BR/><BR/>“Cory Fleming, the defense attorney, said Wednesday that he continues to represent Gerwing”. <BR/><BR/>“His law firm is cooperating with authorities “to the extent we’re allowed to under the law,” said Fleming.<BR/><BR/>“to the extent we’re allowed to under the law,” Very clever!<BR/><BR/>You know...it is really interesting that it turns out that Cory Fleming is Dennis Gerwing's Attorney...that's REALLY interesting...it becomes even more interesting that he is almost insistent that he continue to represent him after his demise. <BR/><BR/>And Fleming is going to represent him “to the extent we’re allowed to under the law,” what a nice guy that Fleming is. WOW! What a nice guy! Just to show us how much of a nice guy Fleming is, he is going to do all of this even after "not cooperating with the Sheriff's Office in this ongoing investigation" from the beginning.<BR/><BR/>Fleming is going from "NO COOPERATION" to what he is allowed to under the law. I have to tell you, Attorney Saxon sent Gerwing to the right guy(Fleming). Fleming is Mr. No CooperationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
