Martin Singer, man in the news

The lawyer-protector for Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charlie Sheen and many other Hollywood types is mini-profiled in the New York Times as guard dog to the stars (legally speaking.)

“He’s ferocious and fearless, he really is,” says Sylvester Stallone, one of the first in an expanding list of entertainers, executives and even political figures who have turned to Mr. Singer for help with contracts gone wrong, business relationships gone bad or most any other sort of problem.

“I think I was having trouble with a dinosaur, that’s how far back we go,” jokes Mr. Stallone when asked how he initially connected with Mr. Singer. “There was a dinosaur making some sexual innuendos.”

“We’re one of the few firms that sue; we don’t just send a letter,” Mr. Singer says.
