One of my favorite people on earth is my buddy Michael Crystal, a criminal defence lawyer in Ottawa, the kind of guy who takes the toughest cases, cases I would not touch knowing the limits of my skill. He has recently launched a new website for his law office which is, to say the least, unconventional and, in the best sense, unprofessional. No cloak if the mystic priesthood here. Clear explanation, humour and skill.

I also like the red. Once when stuck in front of a branding consultant and asked what should be done to improve the firm's image I suggested red and lightening the mood. They look at me funny and didn't act on my suggestions. [They did, however, nick a logo design off a UK organic seed organization - who knew there'd be an organic gardener in the firm.] Mike has taken the theory and added a spin of "Loony Toons" logo. If I ever need murder defence counsel, he's my man.
