Justin Baldoni’s mouthpiece in his headline-grabbing legal battle with Blake Lively is one of the most cutthroat attorneys in town — even he calls himself a “pit bull.” Freedman’s approach on behalf of the It Ends With Us director is indeed aggressive, filing a $400 million suit against Lively for extortion and defamation (and, for good measure, suing The New York Times for defamation). On the other side of the legal spectrum, he also represents 24 relatives petitioning for the release of the Menendez brothers, a case that grabbed some recent headlines after a new Netflix series raised so many doubts about their 1996 conviction that even Kim Kardashian was posting about it.
