The Resume

    Graduated from UCLA (1965)
    Received a law degree from Loyola University
    Awarded the 'Defense Counsel of the Year' (1994)
    Launched the legal web sites ProxiLaw and Legal Zoom
    Attorney for Linda Lovelace, Johnny Carson, Jose Canseco, Darryl Strawberry, Vince Coleman, Christian Brando (Marlon Brando's son) and O.J. Simpson

Why he might be annoying:

    He began studying law in order to avoid being drafted during the Vietnam War.
    He has defended many athletes.
    He helped acquit O.J. Simpson.
    He doesn't enjoy visiting his clients in prison.
    By not visiting O.J. in jail, he allowed Johnny Cochrane to take his place as lead counsel.
    He said of O.J.'s defense team tactics: 'Not only did we play the race card, we dealt it from the bottom of the deck.'
    He prefers basketball and hockey over baseball.
    He made headlines when he dropped Lindsay Lohan as a client in less than 48 hours; comedians asked why he'd stick with O.J. Simpson, but ditch Lindsay Lohan (July 20, 2010).

Why he might not be annoying:

    In addition to studying law, he also studied finance.
    His trademark as an attorney was the ability to bargain with the prosecution.
    After he was awarded the 'Defense Counsel of the Year,' Judge Lance Ito wrote him a note that read his award was 'well deserved and overdue.'
    He spoke out against some of Johnny Cochrane's actions during the O.J. Simpson trial.
    His website ProxiLaw is used as a database for attorneys looking for legal documentation.
    When asked what famous trial he would've loved to participate in, he said: 'I would have loved to be a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials.'
