MIAMI, FL– July 15, 2024- Bast Amron Special Counsel Brian Tannebaum was quoted in a recent article by Florida Bar News, “Honoring A Legacy: Judge Stanford Blake Receives 2024 Selig I. Goldin Memorial Award.”
“In 1995, I became a lawyer, and he became a judge, and he swore me into The Florida Bar,” Tannebaum told friends and colleagues who gathered June 21 in an Orlando conference room to give Blake the Criminal Law Section’s highest honor.
“Just to give you an example, he received 12 awards in the 22 years he was on the bench, basically, one every other year,” Tannebaum said.
“I thought his first name was ‘Love,’” Tannebaum said. “Because whenever anybody brings up Stan Blake, whether it was a defense attorney, or a prosecutor, that was always the response, ‘Love Stan Blake! Love Stan Blake!’”
Tannebaum noted that the article quotes a former drug addicted defendant — “I’m here because of Stanford Blake” — who credits Blake for his recovery, and his success as a small business owner.
“So, today, I say, I’m here because of Stan Blake,” Tannebaum said. “He served with distinction for 22 years, and it is an honor to bestow the 2024 Selig I. Goldin Memorial Award to the Honorable Stanford Blake.”
