Scott Surovell, chair of the Mt. Vernon Democrats, also happens to be a fine young attorney. Today, he gets the publicity he deserves in the Washington Post. Believe it or not, a man who was convicted of killing his wife was suing to collect on "the $100,000 life insurance policy his wife signed up for shortly before she was shot five times." Unbelievable. Fortunately, in large part thanks to Scott Surovell, the money will be going to the daughter of the murdered woman.
According to Scott, "Hopefully, with this decision on the books, people like my client won't have to spend a fortune to get what they're entitled to." And the murdered woman's daughter, who plans to attend nursing school, adds, "I just couldn't believe he thought he could benefit from my mom's death."
Great work Scott, I'm proud that you are a leading Virginia Democrat and also a friend! :)

Oh don't let this go to his head. (brimur - 5/16/2007 10:51:24 AM)
So he won one case? Big deal. Typical trial lawyer clamoring for publicity...
Come on! (Doug in Mount Vernon - 5/16/2007 12:03:28 PM)
Dude that was uncalled for.
I've known Scott since I moved to Mt Vernon in 2004, and he is one of the smartest, hardest working Democratic activists I've ever known. He certainly is not one to "clamor" for any kind of attention at any level, unless of course you choose to view competence and hard work as a "clamor for publicity".
I am surprised by you, brimur. You know not of whom you speak.
Haha (brimur - 5/16/2007 12:05:36 PM)
I'm totally joking buddy. Scott is brilliant, and I consider him a mentor both in politics and in litigation.
Ahhhh...jokes on me! (Doug in Mount Vernon - 5/16/2007 12:10:47 PM)
OK so Brimur was joking, I am told.
Very funny guys.
Great Job Scott! (Jen Little - 5/16/2007 11:46:15 AM)
I concur with Lowell!
Scott, you are a fabulous Democratic Leader!
I so glad you are on our side, because I would not want to be on the opposing side of an argument with you!
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
(Like making the world a better place!)
You make us all look good!

The hardest working Democrat in FCDC! (LAS - 5/16/2007 1:14:39 PM)
We in the Mt Vernon district are very fortunate to have Scott as our chair. Nobody works harder. Nobody has greater dedication to our Democratic cause. Nobody has more energy when it comes to fighting the good fight.
Congratulations again, Scott!
This is so true. (Lowell - 5/16/2007 1:22:34 PM)
Scott rocks!
Good Show! (k8 - 5/16/2007 3:06:11 PM)

You done good Scott. Way to go!! I read the article but missed the part about you representing her. Since when should somone who killed his wife get the insurance policy?
That's a no brainer. Some people have chutzpah that's all I can say. Thanks for bringing justice to her daughter.

Props to da man! (lortonalan - 5/16/2007 5:50:30 PM)
Congratulations for your success, being involved in a case that sets precedence, and, most of all, for fighting for a daughter trying to do right by her mom. Ya done a great thing. Like Jon Stewart might say, a mitzvah.
