Criminal Defense Attorney Gerald Schwartzbach has represented such clients as civil rights activist Stephen Bingham and Robert Blake, probably the most widely known for his role in the TV series, Baretta, an eccentric, street-smart undercover cop with the NYPD. A burning commitment to justice propels him to pull out all stops on behalf of his varied clients. He believes true justice is executed only when we refuse to objectify the defendant, regardless of the crime. Tune to hear Gerald Schwartzbach, a man who accidently became a lawyer, present his unique viewpoint of criminal justice and the clients he has represented.
