The New Jersey Monthly magazine named Zegas as one of the "50 Most Interesting People in NJ".[2] He was Editor-in-Chief of the Rutgers Law Review between 1980 and 1981, and clerked for judge H. Lee Sarokin of the U.S. District Court between 1981 and 1983.[3] Notable casesIn 1989, Zegas represented one of the football players at Glen Ridge High School involved in the sexual assault of a developmentally disabled female student, the only defendant that was acquitted of all substantive sexual assault charges.[4][5] Zegas participated in the case of Kelly Michaels in the Wee Care Nursery School abuse trial. Although Michaels was initially prosecuted, the decision was overturned in 1993, after she had spent five years in prison. Zegas represented Michaels on her appeal before the New Jersey Supreme Court, which overturned her conviction.[6] In 1999, Zegas won the acquittal of David Ford, a teacher who was accused of molesting a dozen girls. Prosecutors had described Ford as a sexual predator while Zegas said he was the victim of hysteria and rumors.[7] Zegas won an acquittal for Victor Botnick, a chief aide of late New York Mayor, Edward Koch, in a federal prosecution for air piracy in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Zegas also represented former Newark Mayor, Sharpe James, in a federal prosecution in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
