Patterson, James, 1947-

The Defense Lawyer : The Barry Slotnick Story Title on jacket: Defense lawyer : Colombo, the Subway Shooter, Gotti James Patterson and Benjamin Wallace. - First edition. - 408 pages ; 25 cm

Bronx-native Bernard Slotnick's mantra was that everyone deserved a good defense--and he was the best defender out there. A bold strategist in the courtroom, and a doting husband and father of four at home, "Liberty's Last Champion" stood up for the unpopular and the controversial, including John Gotti, head of the Gambino crime family; Joe Colombo Sr., inspiration for The Godfather; Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Jewish Defense League; and Bernhard Goetz, the Subway Shooter. Known for his sharp mind (and his sharp suits), Slotnick had twelve-year winning streak, and James Patterson tells his story here.
