Tribute to a loved and learned friend

“Peter Frederick Mihalik, affectionately known as Pete, I, together with a multitude of shocked colleagues, will miss you dearly. You showed me the ropes in my early prosecuting days on the finer art of trial advocacy and contributed to my development as a practitioner. My heart goes out to the loved ones left behind after this senseless act of terror. The profession has lost a brilliant lawyer who left behind a legacy second to none. Goodbye my friend and mentor. May your soul rest in peace.” — Cape Town attorney Marcello Stevens, right, on Facebook
