NEAL In 1984, Neal Wiesner was arrested on Federal
narcotics kingpin charges (21 U.S.C. 848)
carrying a

CT maximum sentence of life imprisonment. While
WIESNER
those charges were pending, Mr. Wiesner was tried
on N w York State charges of attempted murder and
other violent o"enses. At trial, the judge
presiding
tried to force a lawyer on him, which he resisted
causing the Court, at one point, to threaten to
have him bound and gagged or tried in absentia.
Later, the People would claim that he forced the
Court into error.
Admitted to practice in New York, New Jersey,
Federal Courts and U.S. Tax Court.
He was convicted and received the maximum
sentence of twenty-five years. Studying on his
own while in prison, after being represented by
lawyers who failed in the appellate e"orts they
made for him, Mr. Wiesner rejected further
representation convinced he could do a better
job representing himself. He filed a pro se
petition for habeas corpus in Federal District
Court which resulted in vacating his State
convictions and winning his release in 1989.
After being incarcerated for more than five
years, Federal District Judge Gerard L. Goettel,
who presided over his narcotics charges, helped
him get into law school. Later, Judge Goettel
aided in getting Neal admitted to practice law,
joining a host of distinguished judges and
lawyers as well as members of law enforcement,
among others, in doing so. After Mr. Wiesner's
law school graduation, he worked for years
drafting appeals for former judges and law
firms, as well as drafting litigation papers in
complex matters. Former New York State Supreme
Court Appellate Division Justice John Carro
called him "the best clerk I ever had." To this
day, a significant portion of his practice
involves the representation of attorneys on
various matters. WIESNER LAW FIRM 34 East
