Cellino v. Barnes: The Play
Where does one begin to tell the story of two manifestly successful lawyers who mixed professionalism with adolescent ideation?

Barnes: The Play," asked themselves the same question in 2017 when they decided to write a humorous play about the creation and impending demise of the Cellino & Barnes personal injury law firm. Unfortunately, in their effort to find the broad humor in the partnership's creation and end, Breen and Rafailedes missed the mark. [more]
