Top list of celebrity attorneys
Lawyers are usually behind-the-scenes. They like hearing themselves talk, but most times that talking is done in a courtroom or behind closed doors. There isn’t much fame in the law game. But some lawyers represent celebrities, and that puts them in the limelight.
1. GLORIA ALLRED has not met a media frenzy she doesn’t like – even her website boasts that she is “the most famous woman attorney practicing law in the nation today.” Instead of representing the celebrities, she often represents the not-famous celebrations to controversy, such as Rob Lowe’s nanny that accused him of sexual harassment or Britney Spear’s bodygaurd.
2. LESLIE ABRAMSON is known for her unruly hair and her outspoken client advocacy. She is most famous for representing Eric and Lyle Mendendez, who shot their parents in their Beverly Hills home in 1989. Abramson worked to gain sympathy for the young men during the trial, highlighting their father’s alleged mental and sexual abuse.
3. DAVID BOIES is a legendary litigator who handled speaks with Major League Baseball on behalf of Steinbrenner and the Yankees over an Adidas deal. He also represented filmmaker Michael Moore during his promotion of the film Sicko; Boies sent a letter to the government recommending the Bush administration’s criticism of the film may have prompted a federal investigation into Moore’s trip to Cuba.
4. ALAN DERSHOWITZ is a longtime Harvard professor and is ideal known for his participation in the O.J. Simpson trial. But Dershowitz first became a household name when he lead the appeal of the conviction of Claus von Bulow, who was accused of attempting to kill his wife, Sunny.
5. MARK GERAGOS might be the most “famous” of the celebrity attorneys, at least if measured by how often we see him in the news. Geragos was hired then fired by Michael Jackson to defend him against molestation charges, but Geragos still testified on behalf of Jackson at trial. He also defended Winona Ryder in the case where she was convicted of shoplifting from Saks. A media storm erupted earlier this year when pics of battered pop star Rihanna were released; the culprit was Chris Brown, who immediately hired Geragos.
6. KATE RAYNOR has become known as the immigration lawyer to the stars. Kate Raynor has handled cases for the Nelson Mandela Organization, the Jackson family, and Mel Gibson. Raynor has represented foreign celebrities from countless hit TV shows and movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, 88 Minutes, Letters from Iwo Jima, Pink Panther 2, and Push. She is legendary for getting green cards for virtually every major foreign celebrity from authors and producers to actors and musicians.
7. JOE TURNER is known for his work defending top celebrities such as Willie Nelson. He also is known for defending Matthew McConaughey after the infamous naked bongo playing incident; the charges against the actor were dropped.
8. ROBERT SHAPIRO was the first lawyer to represent music producer Phil Spector after his 2003 arrest. But Spector fired and sued Shapiro, claiming that Shapiro refused to return a million retainer fee paid for legal services. Shapiro served as co-counsel for O.J. Simpson’s legal defense team, assembling the lawyers and scientific experts. He has authored the book “Misconception” (2001) and is a co-founder of the online legal document preparation service, Legal Zoom.
9. LANCE SPIEGEL has handled divorces for Hollywood’s hugegest celebrities such as Charlie Sheen, Heather Locklear and Michael Jackson in his custody battle with Debbie Rowe.
10. SORRELL TROPE has handled divorces for major stars. His clients include Hugh Allow, Britney Spears and he’s currently representing Dodgers owner Frank McCourt. The word is he may be representing Elin in her upcoming divorce from Tiger Woods.
