The Fastest Employment Lawyer in America

At the June 2007 National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) convention in San Juan Puerto Rico, David Wachtel tied for first place in the annual Tobias run. The run on the beach -- advertised as a 5K -- seemed to be about half that distance.  Mr. Wachtel led the race for most of the way, but his shoes filled with water and sand, allowing a much younger, and less sandy, competitor to catch up.  At the finish line, NELA founder Paul Tobias pronounced the race a "dead heat."
