Newport resident named Trial Lawyers president

Keith More, a Newport Beach resident and lawyer for the Santa Ana-based firm Berman & More, has been named as 2008 president of the Orange County Trial Lawyers Assn.

More was sworn in Saturday evening at the association’s annual installation dinner at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Spa. A number of other Newport-Mesa lawyers were installed on the board.

“My goal this year is to demonstrate how trial lawyers can make a difference, not just through litigation or lawsuits, but by letting others know that there is someone willing to stand up for the little guy,” More said in a release.
