Having finally secured an appropriate lawyer who can practice in a federal court in Florida, Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira entered a “not guilty” plea in the federal indictment charging him with four felonies including trying to destroy evidence, ABC News reports.
De Oliveira retained Donnie Murrell, a Palm Beach County criminal defense attorney who appears to run a one-person firm. With a tagline “When Freedom Is In The Balance,” Murrell’s website describes his career: “For more than 25 years, the law firm of Donnie Murrell has specialized in handling state and federal criminal defense cases. The firm is also known for its post-conviction work. Attorney Murrell is a Florida Bar Board Certified Criminal Defense Attorney with a reputation for his courtroom abilities and outstanding commitment to his clients.” [Original emphasis.]
