Law Offices of Belli & McLean, LLC
Description
The Law Offices of Belli & McLean are dedicated to continuing the outstanding legal traditions of Melvin M. Belli, Sr. (1907 - 1996)
Melvin Belli, a pioneer in the area of trial law, was well known for defending the rights of the individual, and was widely known as the "Father of Demonstrative Evidence" and "The King of Torts". The founder and former president of the American Trial Lawyers Association ("ATLA"), Melvin Belli was the author of sixty-two books on civil and criminal trial techniques and procedures.
High profile clients of Melvin Belli's law firm have included Mae West, Errol Flynn, Tony Curtis, Lenny Bruce, Zsa Zsa Gabor, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Muhammad Ali, Alex Haley, Nick Nolte, Mickey Cohen and the criminal defense of Jack Ruby, on trial for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of President John F. Kennedy. Melvin Belli won a reversal on Jack Ruby's death penalty conviction from the Texas Appellate Court as well as a new trial outside of Dallas, but Ruby died of brain cancer soon afterwards, and before a second trial. Mr. Belli's book, "Dallas Justice", chronicles his perspective of the Jack Ruby case.
