The Pellicano Update

PI Anthony Pellicano in More Dapper Days

This Easter Holiday weekend, I was reflecting on the events of the last two weeks, and wondering whether if I were in trouble, in litigation as a defendant or lawyer, what would I do? I was baptized a Catholic and did attend as a child, and spent years in churches as an adult working as an embalmer, so I have been places where Jesus should have been hanging out!
Some pray, and others go reach for their cellphone and call their lawyers for help. Praying can be cheaper, but for the rich? Instant satisfaction is the only way to go, and church for them is the City National Bank located in Beverly Hills! Just down the street from the Good Shepherd.
When they reached out to a select group of some of the sharpest legal minds in Century City and Beverly Hills, those select, sharp legal minds in turn reached out.
Did these titans of law call Batman? Their clergy?
No…they called Anthony Pellicano! Also, funny as it may sound, NONE of these guys ever called my office for any services.
Oh, for sure I have worked for some of the big guys too — the difference is that the lawyers I worked with understood the limitations of real investigations. For sure some would tell me that “Pellicano is on this, too” — that was a given as to the names of the lawyers involved on the other side!
I doubt very much there is another private investigator that has had as many encounters with “Anthony the Entertainer.”
That was cool with us, as we knew what was going to happen and for us there was no surprise. We would get prepared for the games, and depending on the firm, the landslide of legal paper (a tactic to try and overwhelm some smaller practitioners, and perfectly legal!).

I enjoy reading JJN’s coverage of a true criminal case, especially since I have run through all my fictional crime stories by Connelly, Deaver and Grisham at the moment. Sorta fills the gap. lol
