Attorney to the Stars Says It’s His Pro Bono That’s Most Exciting

[b]Attorney to the Stars Says It’s His Pro Bono That’s Most Exciting[/b] By Mike McKee When he had the chance, Thomas Mesereau Jr. didn’t brag about his successes in defending pop star Michael Jackson or former television actor Robert Blake. Instead, he talked about the joys of doing pro bono work. The partner from Los Angeles-based Collins, Mesereau, Reddock & Yu was the featured speaker on June 6 at the Beverly Hills Bar Association’s 52nd annual California Supreme Court luncheon, and regaled the huge crowd at the swanky Beverly Hills Hotel with stories about doing pro bono work in the ghettos of L.A. and on death row in Mississippi.

Woman seeks pay from Jackson prosecutors

[b]Woman seeks pay from Jackson prosecutors[/b] Saturday, June 3, 2006 By LARRY WELBORN The Orange County Register An Orange County woman filed suit Friday against the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office, saying she wasn’t paid for developing a database of documents and images in the Michael Jackson child-molestation case. Santa Fe Springs attorney Brian Oxman said his client Annette L. Reichert was hired to create a searchable database of evidence for Santa Barbara County District Attorney Thomas Sneddon and his staff. Oxman, who is also an attorney for the Jackson family, said Reichert performed her duties but was not fully compensated. Reichert of Orange is owed more than $40,000 for her work on the Jackson case and deserves $100,00 more for giving up other work when she agreed to create the database, Oxman said.
