Then read the first biography of the controversial San Francisco attorney who revolutionized the legal world we love to hate through representation of such famed personalities as the Rolling Stones, Lee Harvey Oswald Assassin Jack Ruby, actor Errol Flynn, mobster Mickey Cohen, Muhammed Ali, comedian Lenny Bruce, and stripper queen Carol Doda. Part genius, part carnival barker, part huckster, and part vaudevillian performer, Belli was arguably the greatest lawyer who ever lived. As portrayed by author Mark Shaw, warts and all, we learn about the swashbuckling barrister who never backed down from battling corporate America while defending the famous, the infamous, and the poor and downtrodden. Belli was headquartered in his beloved SanFrancisco with offices in Beverly Hills, Washington D.C., Shanghai, and New York. " The portrayal of Melvin Belli by actor Brian Cox is an excellent choice. The family, including his widow Nancy Ho Belli, has endorsed the portrayal, however, Belli was much younger looking in real life back in the 1960's. In the film he looks so much like he did when he died in 1995. As his publicist and friend, for the last 3 years of his life, those times will be with me forever. He was a giant in the courtroom and an addicted TV news guest. Reading Mark Shaw's book and seeing the film at the same time was very poignant for me", said Edward Lozzi, Beverly Hills public relations executive.. “Mark Shaw has captured the essence of one of the legal giants of the 20th century.” – Vincent Bugliosi, author of Helter Skelter and Till Death Do Us Part Book Description from Amazon.com Melvin Belli was a rogue, a charmer and a rule bender in the courtroom. He led the way for many of the multimillion-dollar lawsuits we see today in the news. Known for his controversial representation of Jack Ruby, Belli pioneered legal strategies and wrote many books revealing his unconventional courtroom wisdom. He was a crusader notorious for his scandalous court cases, and won large awards for his clients often with unorthodox tactics. Dubbed King of Torts by Life Magazine, Belli represented the likes of Lana Turner, Jack Ruby, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Imelda Marcos, Roseann Barr, George Foreman, Mickey Cohen, and the Rolling Stones.
