Ladies' Man: The Life and Trials of Marvin Mitchelson is the extraordinary saga of Marvin Mitchelson, the ruthless Hollywood divorce lawyer who, intoxicated by his own success, lived the life of a user - of his clients, of women, of drugs, of publicity. Ladies' Man shows how the things he so cleverly manipulated to fuel his fame and fortune eventually came back to haunt him.Award-winning author John A. Jenkins brings to life the sensational trials in which Mitchelson made his mark - from his historic arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, to the palimony trial of Michelle Triola Marvin and the divorce case of sultry actress Joan Collins.But Ladies' Man also goes beyond the courtroom and behind Mitchelson's celebrity mask by describing the renowned lawyer's darker side, including his sexual escapades with clients and others, his drug use, his financial troubles, and his problems with the legal establishment. Also included are observations and insights from Mitchelson himself, derived from extensive interviews by the author. And perhaps most important, Ladies' Man probes into how the authorities handled the many complaints about Mitchelson, and asks how America's most visible lawyer evaded, for so many years, those who could have stopped him.
