My name is Frank R Aliazzo, but everyone calls me Bobby. I’m a lawyer. My twin brother is a criminal lawyer. My wife is a criminal lawyer. My older brother is a criminal and civil lawyer. My father-in-law is a Patent Lawyer. My brother-in-law is a civil trial lawyer. We are a family of lawyers and therefore Not Quite Right. This book is about people we have known. People who are friends, con men, relatives, homicide detectives, murderers, geniuses, small and big-time gangsters and ordinary people in anything but ordinary circumstances. We (Ron and I) grew up and started practicing law in Ozone Park, New York, home to many of the most infamous gangsters in the mid-1960’s. Hard to believe that some of the most legendary movies were made about them (Goodfellas, Gotti.)
To me growing up they were just guys and kids in the neighborhood. The people you are about to read about are real, the stories are real, but circumstances, time lines, names, and locations on occasion have been changed to protect their identity, the attorney-client privilege and the continuation of my good my health. Conversations that happened decades ago were recreated from memory.
