FMBK Partners, Howard Klein and Robert Brandt, co-wrote an article with former FMBK attorney, Geoffrey Murry. The article, "Undue Influence in Probate and Family Law Matters," will be published in the September 2008 issue of Los Angeles Lawyer magazine. Klein, Brandt, and Murry will also be featured on the cover of the magazine, which will be distributed to the 2,000 attorneys attending the State Bar Convention in September, as well as to the 23,000 members of the Los Angeles County Bar Association.

Partner Jerry Kline, and his wife, Betsy, welcomed more than 50 FMBK staff members, attorneys, and their families, into their home on Saturday, August 16, for the annual firm summer party. Betsy Kline, and Partner Steve Mindel, put together a delicious menu that included home-made specialties such as unforgettable ribs, enchiladas, salmon, hot dogs, macaroni, corn bread, grilled vegetables, chicken, and so much more. The kids swam, while the adults enjoyed themselves poolside. A good time was had by all.

1. ADVICE FROM JUDGE TOLER
