Newark Star-Ledger’s Kate Coscarelli has a well-reported profile of the braggart impresario who, despite mounting ethical woes and a slew of client complaints, has been much lionized by a gullible press (especially overseas) through a series of international lawsuits from WWII reparations down through the tsunami-warning case. “Interviews and court documents paint a portrait of a colorful, erratic Essex County lawyer who cut his teeth on considerably less-ambitious personal-injury cases and whose troubles mounted over the years, even as he continued to file his ambitious string of international lawsuits.” The Star-Ledger tends to pull down its stories from free access fairly quickly, so don’t postpone reading this one (”How a world-renowned attorney wound up in handcuffs”, Mar. 13). We’ve been following Fagan for years: see Feb. 5, Feb. 16, and so on.
