Clients whom he has represented have included Michael Jackson, Winona Ryder,[2] Gary Condit, Susan McDougal, Scott Peterson, Scott Barney[3], and Jussie Smollett[4]. Geragos represented suspended NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield; Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwal, two brothers injured after a tiger escaped in San Francisco Zoo; and Chris Brown, who pleaded guilty to the assault of his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. He also assisted the family of David Carradine in the aftermath of his accidental death.[5] He is considered a "celebrity lawyer".[6] BackgroundGeragos was born in Los Angeles, California, where he attended Flintridge Preparatory School in La Cañada, California, graduating with honors. He earned his bachelor's degree from Haverford College, in 1979, double-majoring in anthropology and sociology, then his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Loyola Law School at the Loyola Marymount University in 1982.[7] He was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1983.[3][8] Currently, Geragos is the managing partner at The Law Offices of Geragos and Geragos, in Los Angeles,[9] where he oversees criminal defense and civil litigation. An Armenian-American, Geragos maintains a close relationship with the Armenian community.[10] He has earned praise from the Armenian National Committee of America,[11] and serves on the Advisory Committee of Birthright Armenia,[12] as the chairman of Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry,[13] and also is involved with the Armenian religious community.[14] He has been a member of the Armenia Fund International Board of Trustees since 2006.[15] Geragos was one of the lead lawyers in two groundbreaking federal class action lawsuits against New York Life Insurance and AXA, for insurance policies issued in the early 20th century during the time of the Armenian Genocide of more than 1.5 million Armenians. The two cases settled for over $37.5 million, in 2004 and 2005.[16] In 2009, a lawsuit against three German insurance companies was rejected by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, on the basis that the U.S. government does not legally recognize the Armenian Genocide.[17] Notable clientsSusan McDougalGeragos first came to national attention when he began representing convicted Whitewater figure Susan McDougal, the former business partner of former President Bill Clinton.[18] Geragos completed his representation of McDougal by securing a presidential pardon for McDougal on January 20, 2001.[19] Geragos also represented McDougal in a 12-count embezzlement trial in Los Angeles in which the jury returned a not-guilty verdict.[20] Winona RyderIn December 2002, Geragos defended Academy Award–nominated actress Winona Ryder on charges of stealing more than $5,500 worth of merchandise from a Beverly Hills, California store in 2001. She was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to undergo psychological and drug counseling.[21] Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson casesIn the early stages of the Michael Jackson molestation case, Geragos simultaneously handled that case as well as Scott Peterson's death penalty case, two of the best-known U.S. trials at that time.[22] Geragos's "crushingly busy calendar" in the courtroom earned him a rebuke by a judge in an embezzlement case Geragos was also representing.[23] Ultimately, Geragos failed in both cases: Scott Peterson was found guilty and sentenced to death; and, on April 26, 2004, Jackson removed Geragos as his attorney, replacing him with Thomas Mesereau. In a public statement provided by his spokesperson, Raymone Bain, Jackson stated, "It is imperative that I have the full attention of those who are representing me. My life is at stake..." suggesting that Geragos may not have had enough time to handle his case because of his workload.[24] Geragos, for his part, later said he was dismayed to see Jackson climb atop an SUV to the cheers of his fans after leaving the Santa Barbara County, California courthouse in January 2004, when he was first arraigned on the initial complaint.[25] Geragos's co-counsel, Benjamin Brafman, also expressed disapproval of Jackson's actions.[25] "Although [in January] the lawyers explained the behavior as 'Michael being Michael'," The New York Times reported, "they are said to have privately expressed consternation at the display of frivolity in the face of serious charges."[25] Greg AndersonIn 2006, Geragos was back in the headlines for representing Greg Anderson, the personal trainer of Barry Bonds. On July 5, 2006, Anderson was found in contempt of court by U.S. District Judge William Alsup, who jailed Anderson for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating perjury accusations against Bonds. Geragos announced he would file an appeal based on his assertion that the subpoena to testify violated Anderson's July 2005 plea bargain agreement in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative case.[26] Anderson was to be held until he agreed to testify or the grand jury's term expired. Geragos has said his client would not testify.[27] The grand jury expired on July 20, 2006, and Anderson was released from prison two weeks later.[28] On August 28, 2006, Anderson was again found in contempt of court for refusing to testify before a newly convened grand jury and sentenced to prison.[29] Anderson was freed on October 5, 2006 after an order from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that the trial judge had committed legal errors. Anderson was sent back to jail on November 16, 2006. OthersIn other cases, Geragos won dismissal of all alcohol-related counts against former President Clinton's brother, Roger Clinton Jr.[30] In early 2006, Geragos won the dismissal of a prostitution charge against film director Lee Tamahori.[31] Geragos was the attorney for Cameron Brown, accused of murdering his four-year-old daughter by throwing her off a Rancho Palos Verdes cliff. The twelve-week trial ended in August 2006 without a verdict. The jury deliberated for over nine days but was hopelessly deadlocked and a mistrial was declared by Judge Mark Arnold of the Torrance Superior Court. The case was retried in the fall of 2009 by an associate at Geragos's firm. The second trial also ended with a hung jury.[32] A third trial saw him convicted.[33] Geragos represented a class of plaintiffs including actor Keith Carradine, his spouse, actress {{Interlanguage link|Hayley DuMond|lt=|de||WD=}}, attorney Stephen Kolodny, and designer Donna Dubrow in a class-action lawsuit related to private investigator Anthony Pellicano's illegal wiretapping conspiracy and subsequent conviction.[34][35] In December 2007, Amphit Dhaliwal and Kulbir Dhaliwal, the two survivors of the tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo, hired Geragos to represent them against potential criminal charges and in anticipation of filing a lawsuit against the zoo. Despite pressure from city officials, the local police inspector made it clear that there were no grounds for filing criminal charges against the Dhaliwal brothers related to the tiger attack. Geragos filed a federal suit against the Zoo and the City of San Francisco for violation of the Dhaliwal brothers' civil rights, including the Dhaliwals' being subject to search and seizure without probable cause, and for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Geragos settled the civil suit in the early phase of the court process for $900,000. In 2008, he joined the defense of Japanese businessman Kazuyoshi Miura, but Miura committed suicide before his trial.[36] On February 8, 2009 he brought Chris Brown to surrender to the LAPD. Later, Brown was arrested, and his court date was set to be on March 5, 2009. Geragos and Brown attended the court date, but did not plea and asked for arraignment until the next court date, April 6, 2009. On June 22, 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to one count felony assault and was sentenced to 5 years probation and 6 months community service. He also briefly represented Kesha in her lawsuit against Dr. Luke, but the singer dropped him as her representation in May 2016.[37] Geragos is representing Colin Kaepernick as of 2019.[38] Media appearancesGeragos occasionally appears as both guest and legal commentator on TV. He has appeared on the Today show, Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper 360°, On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren, and has appeared a number of times on Larry King Live, including its 20th anniversary show.[11][39] Geragos was employed by CNN in a contributor role until March 25, 2019, when he was reportedly implicated in an alleged scheme with attorney Michael Avenatti to extort more than $20 million from Nike, Inc.[40][41] In addition to his former role as contributor on CNN, Mark Geragos and Sunny Hostin hosted a 2014 legal program entitled Making the Case. Geragos has made multiple appearances on the Adam Carolla Show since 2013, usually giving commentary on whatever is the top legal issue in pop culture. He guest-hosted for Carolla in April 2014 while Carolla was shooting his independent feature film Road Hard.[42] Geragos filled in for Dr. Drew Pinsky and co-hosted with Carolla in March 2015 on "The Adam and Dr. Drew Show,"[43] another podcast that airs on Carolla's Carolla Digital Network. In June 2015, it was announced that Geragos would co-host a podcast with Carolla that would be a part of Carolla Digital.[44] The show is called "Reasonable Doubt" and features Carolla and Geragos discussing issues in society including the law, from Geragos's viewpoint as a civil and criminal defense attorney. The show debuted on July 25, 2015, and new episodes debut every Saturday. Geragos served as an executive produced for the 2016 ABC network television series Notorious, which was inspired by the working relationship between Geragos and Larry King Live producer Wendy Walker.[45] The show was cancelled after one season.[46] Awards
