Spitzer’s Lawyer Takes Governor’s Call
Gov. David A. Paterson has sought the help of a veteran lawyer with a decent track record when it comes to helping someone in that office.
The lawyer, Theodore V. Wells Jr., was on the defense team that persuaded federal prosecutors not to charge Gov. Eliot Spitzer when he was under investigation in 2008 for patronizing a prostitution ring.
Inside the courtroom, Mr. Wells has a reputation as a gifted orator with a folksy appeal, his adversaries say.
“He understands people, and I think he knows the emotional and intellectual buttons to push,” said Mary Jo White, the former United States attorney in Manhattan whose prosecutors faced him in the courtroom and in pre-indictment discussions in which he would try to persuade them not to proceed with a case.
