I have decided not to appeal the ruling that took my law license. My accusers, the Board of Supervisors, once again have fired my lawyers, ensuring I cannot properly defend myself or my anti-corruption efforts.

Unfortunately, no matter how frivolous the lawsuit, you still, of course, have to pay people to defend you on it.

And as soon as I did the research, I realized the law seemed to be on my side and I filed the suit.

I'm an old trial lawyer.

I wasn't sued out of medicine, I wasn't arbitrated out of the profession.

I have a different approach. I don't file lawsuits because I really don't care.

You never know when you lose a case whether it was because the facts were against you, or because the judges had already made up their minds, or if you could have done something differently.

My court skills may have atrophied.

It's good for me to pull away from something that is just done for effect, which was basically Sue White in 'Green Wing.' In that, it was very much: if in trouble, gurn, or fall down. There was no character background to Sue. You didn't know who she was. She didn't have any toehold in any kind of reality.

I would rather have not gone through any of the litigation that I've had to go through.
