It was a hectic week getting ready for the film crew from LA who were here on Saturday.

There were last minute script changes, final interview questions and guest preparations.

This all began late last year when a production group out of LA approached us wanting to film several half hour shows on various legal issues. These shows will broadcast on network television.

“Insider Exclusive” and the host Steve Murphy have done legal shows on Gerry Spence, Geoffrey Fieger, Gloria Allred, the list goes on. Check out their web-site, it’s interesting.

Anyway, we picked the topics and supplied as much as possible in the way of story line, video, and photographs. They did the rest, professional editing, production and most importantly the professional interviewing by the show’s host.  No, we didn’t use our courtroom for this. Instead we picked the Gallery area on our first floor.

To say they were organized would be an understatement. The three camera set-up by the crew happened within minutes. They had top of the line LED lights with no heat to melt make-up. Another staff member, Cassandra, set up a make-up bar and wouldn’t let any guests shy away from her brushes. Of course, the guys joked it was the manly make-up brand she was using.

Steve Murphy had done his homework and really understood our point of view. These stories will help explain the stories and issues we find most compelling. It gives us a national platform for facts and information for the public to see and hear. 

The topics we chose were; Zyprexa, our involvement with the State of Utah in taking on Eli Lilly and getting $24MM for Utah

Slow Justice is No Justice, The Bob Betley Story, how the frustration with his insurance company’s poor treatment helped inspire Utah Senate Bill 62 which was passed this year. 

The Utah Meth Cops Project, police officers and first responders are exposed to toxic chemicals while on the job. Why we need to help these public servants get well by way of a special detoxification program.

Our guests were; Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, Stu Smith, Chief of Investigations Division for Salt Lake County District Attorney, Sandra Lucas, Director of Utah Meth Cops/Heroes Project, Steve Urquhart, State Senator from Washington County and our good friends and golfers, Bob & Jane Betley.

Corner Bakery was kind enough to show up promptly at 7am with freshly baked muffins/ bagels and a wonderful platter of sliced fresh fruit. I would recommend them for your events.

I always like to include photos of the food at our events so take a look here and on our facebook page. Corner Bakery Cafe’s web-site is www.cornerbakerycafe.com

We’ll let you know when the shows air on Fox Network later this year. In the meantime, please check out their web-site at www.insiderexclusive.com
