I had the thrill of interviewing James Patterson, the world’s best-selling author, about his recently released book, The Defense Lawyer. It tells the story of Barry Slotnick, the New York criminal defense attorney who achieved renown for securing acquittal after acquittal in some of the city’s highest-profile cases. Slotnick even had a dozen-year stretch in which he didn’t lose a case.
Once called the best criminal lawyer in the country by American Lawyer, Patterson recounts one story after another of Slotnick-abracadabra to keep his clients out of prison. How Slotnick did it is remarkable.
I hope you can check out the interview that I did for the ABA Journal:
