What is Mark Geragos’s career?
Geragos manages both criminal defense and civil litigation at Geragos & Geragos, and he earned national recognition when he represented Susan McDougal in the Whitewater crisis, obtaining a presidential pardon for her in 2001. Mark defended Bill Clinton’s half-brother, Roger Clinton Jr., in securing the dismissal of alcohol-related charges, and he assisted David Carradine’s family after the actor died in a Bangkok hotel room.
Geragos represented Greg Anderson, Barry Bonds’ trainer, in 2006 after Anderson refused to testify in connection with perjury allegations against Bonds. Around this time, Mark was representing accused murderer Cameron Brown, who had been charged with murder after allegedly throwing his young daughter off a cliff.
That trial resulted in a mistrial, and Brown was eventually convicted 15 years after the murder by a new attorney. In 2007, Geragos was engaged by Amphit and Kulbir Dhaliwal, who survived a tiger assault at the San Francisco Zoo, and he resolved their legal complaint against the zoo for $900,000.
Mark represented musician Chris Brown in 2009 when Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend, fellow singer Rihanna. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault and was sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community service. Geragos also defended Brown after he broke the terms of his probation.
Mark represented Jussie Smollett after he was accused of filing a fraudulent police complaint in 2019. Prosecutors dropped all 16 counts. Smollett was sentenced to 16 hours of community service and ordered to forfeit his $10,000 bond to the City of Chicago.
In 2020, Geragos & Geragos sued Travelers Insurance for “initially denying coverage of their pandemic-related claims.” Though the law firm was not part of the government-mandated shutdowns in Los Angeles, the lawsuit alleged that Geragos & Geragos had “been forced to deal with a substantial loss in business traffic and client/law-related business activities.”
Mark was also one of the primary attorneys in two federal class action cases filed against New York Life Insurance and AXA for policies issued during the Armenian genocide in the early twentieth century. The claims were settled for more than $37 million between 2004 and 2005.
