Edmond Francis McGill Motivational Speaker from San Francisco, CA

Robert Redford's final movie, The Old Man and The Gun's principal character, played by Redford, is Forrest Tucker. Tucker is famous for being one of the San Quentin convicts who escaped from the prison in a boat that they made within the prison walls, launched into the San Francisco Bay and frantically rowed to freedom. Ed McGill twice persuaded California juries not to convict the San Quentin inmates who christened their prison made craft by painting on the bow the words "Rub-a-dub-dub, Marin Yacht Club". Three prisoners, with ingenuity and humor, sailed to freedom on San Francisco Bay. It could have been a movie. In Ed's most varied experience as a lawyer over more than 40 years of practice, he has had the privilege to represent people from every station in life – from businesses managing assets in the billions to indigent prison inmates - in the board room, in the conference room, in the courtroom. Just how did celebrated trial attorney Edmond McGill prevent the conviction, in two jury trials, of the inmates who sailed to freedom on their prison made boat? The strategic lessons from this and so many other court cases, civil and criminal, and countless negotiations and business deals in a life of more than 40 years in the courtroom and the conference room teach great and valuable lessons in strategy, patience, persistence and the great good humor that form the foundations for achievement and victory in every endeavor. Ed has spoken before audiences small and large, civic groups, political groups, church groups and professional groups. He has moderated media sponsored public debates and important public policy forums, appeared on television and radio and publically debated public policy issues. Ed McGill is your ideal speaker.
