Neat
people, Jose Pelleya
By: George
Lundquist
I have mentioned in previous articles
about the importance of networking. This
article will be about another neat and
very worthwhile person to know here. He
is Jose Pelleya. Jose was born in Cuba
and was moved to Florida by his Lawyer
father when Castro came to power. He
became a US Attorney and practiced there
for years. He started coming to CR on
business over 10 years ago and soon
decided he would rather live here full
time. If you have been reading my past
articles, you know how cautious I am
about Attorneys.
