Notice of Appearance as Counsel of Record for Sentencing — Carolyn Wade, Case 0:23-cr-60173-KMW (Document 229)

What This Document Is

A one-page notice, filed January 21, 2025, in which attorney Larry R. Handfield enters an appearance as counsel of record for Carolyn Wade — the exact companion to his same-day notice for Tracy Wade (docket 228), identical in text apart from the client's name. The prior summary used a fragment of the notice's boilerplate ("relieved by Court Order.") as its title. Filed two days before the January 23, 2025 sentencing.

Factual Summary

As with the Tracy Wade notice, the caption reads "for sentencing purposes only" while the body states an unconditional permanent appearance: Handfield agrees to represent Carolyn Wade "for all proceedings arising out of the transaction" charged, citing Local General Rule 11.1(D) and the Special Rules Governing the Admission and Practice of Attorneys, and acknowledges the standard duties to advise the defendant of her appeal rights, to file a timely notice of appeal if requested, and to pursue that appeal unless relieved by court order. The same fee-dispute non-withdrawal clause and a certificate of electronic service dated January 21, 2025 complete the filing.

Key Facts

  • Filed January 21, 2025 — two days before the January 23 sentencing; same day and same attorney as the Tracy Wade notice (docket 228).
  • Counsel: Larry R. Handfield, Esq., FL Bar No. 330590, 4770 Biscayne Blvd. #1250, Miami.
  • One attorney thus entered appearances for both co-defendant spouses on the eve of sentencing; the notice does not address potential joint-representation considerations.
  • The caption's "sentencing purposes only" label is narrower than the notice's own operative text, which covers all proceedings including appeal.

Source Caveats

  • The notice does not explain whether Handfield replaced or supplemented Carolyn Wade's existing counsel, or how joint representation of both spouses was addressed; none of that context is in this one-page filing.
  • No indication in this document of whether Handfield in fact appeared at sentencing or on appeal; only that the appearance was filed.
