" Md. LAWYER MAKING WAVES WITH A FLAIR FOR DRAMATICS",
By Washington Post Staff Writer Veronica T. Jennings, page C1 ]
" *** But it was Ware's summation that captivated the courtroom. He mimicked
prosecution witnesses and hurled himself on the witness stand for effect, said prosecutor Sue-
Ellen Hantman. " It was amazing."
The courtroom theatrics were unusual for low-key Howard County, but not for Ware, whose unorthodox...courtroom style and... are creating a stir in Howard County's subdued legal establishment.
Ware, who left a string of high-power private and government jobs for a solo practice in Howard County, is quickly building a reputation for being what one County Council member called " a little bit eccentric"... flamboyant and ... nonetheless a well-regarded lawyer with a zeal for civil rights cases.
He prides himself on defending the underdogs. Whenever a civil rights dispute arises, Ware is there. Some lawyers say he has become Howard County's version of the flamboyant F. Lee Bailey or radical lawyer William Kunstler..
Ware's unconventional techniques often work. The defendant in Ware's famous "Fatal Attraction" rape case was acquitted of the rape charge, but found guilty of lesser misdemeanor charges, which netted him only a 90-day jail sentence instead of the life term he could have faced ***
" I just love litigation," Ware said. " I don't take a case unless I expect to win." ***
Ware has been a congressional aide, top federal prosecutor, U.S. Immigration Judge , high-ranking lawyer for two federal agencies, and general counsel and executive vice president at a college. Last year Ware *** was appointed general counsel to the 35,000-member Maryland State NAACP.
In the 15 months that he has practiced in Howard County, Ware has managed to grab local media attention with -- by Howard standards -- somewhat sensational cases [ with multi-million dollar civil lawsuits against the giant Rouse Company (for antitrust and civil rights violations), Turf Valley Country Club ( for civil rights,etc., violations), class-action against the Burger King Corporation, and many more. **** and more.
