The Chicago brief made a direct complaint to Cook County Circuit Judge Anita Rivkin-Carothers, saying the woman sitting next to opposing lawyer Dmitry Feofanov was serving no purpose other than 'drawing the attention of the jury away from the relevant proceedings'.Mr Feofanov stands by his argument that the woman - identified in court documents as Daniella Atencia - is his paralegal.In a pretrial motion, he claims Mr Gooch has shown no 'good faith legal argument' why she should not be present during the trial.
Mr Gooch, though, says his argument is not based on the fact she is buxom, but because he does not believe she is professionally qualified, responded: 'Personally, I like large breasts. 'However, I object to somebody I don't think is a qualified paralegal sitting at the counsel table - when there's already two lawyers there - dressed in such a fashion as to call attention to herself.'The case, which is due to go to trial on June 2nd, is a small claims case relating to a dispute over a used car.
