Steve Barnes, a personal injury attorney known for the catchy TV jingle advertising for the law firm Cellino & Barnes, died in a small plane crash shortly before noon Friday in western New York.
"His passing is a significant loss for the legal community," Barnes' law partner Ross Cellino said."He was always a fearless advocate for his clients." The firm started in Buffalo, New York but has became well known beyond the New York region for its advertising. Recently the two lawyers had a falling out, including court battles amid the split of the firm.
According to Genesee County Sheriff William Sheron, a witness called 911 shortly before noon Friday to report seeing a plane disappear from the sky over a wooded area. The witness subsequently heard a crash and then a fire boom.
