Charlie Crist to join Morgan & Morgan

deathstar · January 07, 2011, 01:06:00 AM

The "people's governor" is now "for the people." Former Gov. Charlie Crist, who left office Tuesday, is joining Florida trial lawyer firm Morgan & Morgan.

The firm, headed by John Morgan, is renown throughout the state because of its aggressive advertising, including its trademark closer, "for the people." In an e-mail, Morgan said Crist would be introduced at a Friday breakfast.

Morgan has been a political backer of Crist's for a number of years and it was long understood Crist could end up at the firm after leaving office.

The one-term former governor has also said he might want to teach law classes at Stetson.

I wish we had him back as governor instead of Tricky Ricky...

Will he be a co-owner, vested interested owner, or just an Attorney working for the firm? I would imagine he would probably be in the upper staff tier relative to ownership.

After so many years of public service, I'm sure he's glad to finally make money.
