Judith L. Poller

Spear’s Review

The family lawyer of choice for notable HNWs – ‘My clients are high-end because my billing rate is high,’ she says – Judith Poller of Pryor Cashman has acted for stars such as Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore. 

‘Privacy is a huge concern to celebrity clients,’ she explains. ‘People are so interested in their lives, and the fact that they are going through a divorce only makes them more interesting. I do my best to make sure that their divorce doesn’t play out in the press.’

Dubbed by the US press as the ‘Hollywood Troubleshooter’, Poller’s work is varied. ‘I do everything from prenuptial agreements to paternity suits, divorce, cohabitation issues ... the whole gamut,’ she tells Spear’s.

Poller frequently lectures on family law and appears in the media commenting on legal issues.
