Howard Weitzman, the Hollywood power lawyer perhaps best known for defending Michael Jackson and his estate, has died.
The attorney, whose client list included almost every studio, plus CAA, William Morris and other major agencies, as well as a long list of stars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Britney Spears and Sean Combs, died Sunday night at his home in Pacific Palisades after a battle with cancer. He was 81.
“Howard’s wit, charm, and brilliant legal mind are legendary, and we will miss him dearly,” the Santa Monica law firm he cofounded in 2006, Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump LLP, said in a statement. “RIP Howard, you will always be a giant.”
