LFTC is pleased to announce that Bryan Freedman was named to The Hollywood Reporter‘s 2024 “Power Lawyers: Troubleshooters” list, recognizing the attorneys Hollywood heavyweights keep on speed dial. This is the second consecutive year he has received this distinction. THR defines Troubleshooters as Hollywood’s top legal fixers, helping A-list clients out of criminal jams and helping them navigate the surrounding drama.
In the article, “Deaths! Divorces! DUIs! Here’s Who the Stars Call When They Really Need a Lawyer,” Freedman’s representation of several high-profile clients was highlighted, including Kevin Spacey in his sexual assault case, as well as Tucker Carlson, Chris Cuomo, Megyn Kelly, and Don Lemon as they were ousted from their respected networks. The article calls Freedman a self-described courthouse “pitbull.”

Deaths! Divorces! DUIs! Here’s Who the Stars Call When They Really Need a Lawyer
Hollywood heavyweights who find themselves in a jam keep these Troubleshooters on speed dial.
If you’re lucky, you’ll never need to call anybody on this list. But if you ever do find yourself in a tight spot — say, you wrapped your Cadillac SUV around a lamppost in the Hamptons, or got arrested at a five-star New York City hotel and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking — these are the lawyers you’ll want on your side. They’re The Troubleshooters, Hollywood’s top legal fixers (even if some of them are based in New York, Atlanta or Las Vegas). They not only help their A-list clients climb their way out of criminal jams but also steer them through the often even more fraught courtroom dramas surrounding their divorces, workplace disputes and estate planning. On the following pages, THR once again picks the best mouthpieces that (lots and lots of) money can buy.

Freedman represented Kevin Spacey when the actor was accused of sexual assault. When Tucker Carlson, Chris Cuomo, Megyn Kelly and Don Lemon were all ousted from their respective networks, he’s the guy they called for legal advice. Dr. Dre’s ex-wife hired him to get spousal support, FKA Twigs hired him when she alleged Shia LaBeouf abused her, Gabrielle Union hired him in her toxic workplace claim against America’s Got Talent, and Diplo hired him when he was accused of distributing revenge porn. A self-described courthouse “pit bull,” Freeman has a simple legal philosophy, which he shared with THR in June: “If you fuck with my client, you get what you get.”
