Michael Vick fired one of the lawyers on his legal dream team according to court documents filed in late October.  Atlanta attorney Robert Meachum was sacked and removed from Vick’s legal team.  This leaves Vick running a 3 man defense headed by DC lawyer Billy Martin and Virginia lawyers Larry Woodward and Thomas Shuttleworth.

Michael Vick’s Legal Sacking is About Money

The significance here is probably not related to any significant shift in strategy or differences in legal strategies.  Vick is selling his home in Georgia and moving to Florida in what many believe is an attempt to benefit from Florida bankruptcy laws.

Without a home in Georgia, Michael Vick needs an Atlanta lawyer much less.  Plus, he needs another legal bill from an attorney he doesn’t need like he needs more bad press.

This sacking by Michael Vick of his Atlanta lawyer is likely more about money than anything else.
