Bitter Dead Lawyer Bans Former Law Partners From His Funeral
By Elie Mystal
U mad bro?
Everything that ends, ends badly. That’s true of law partnerships as much as anything. Partners split up, somebody takes the high profile clients, somebody else ends up holding a fish and a box of Renée Zellweger DVDs.
Today, we’ve got a partner who had a falling out with his former colleagues and took his bitterness to his grave…
The story on the New York Post’s Page Six documents hardcore butthurt:
Norman Sheresky, the prominent New York divorce attorney who died Oct. 19 from pneumonia, made a dying wish banning his partners from his former firm, Sheresky Aronson Mayefsky & Sloan, from his funeral…I respect this. Nobody wants people who weren’t nice to you while you were alive crying crocodile tears at your damn funeral. In fact, here’s a tip to the trusts and estates lawyers out there: start telling your clients to put a guest list in their wills. It’s your (last) party, you should decide who gets their grieve on.
Sheresky had a dramatic falling out with them and left the firm in 2010.
