It seems Clare and Sara Bronfman have put up more money to fight their legal fight against the US Attorney EDNY – possibly secreting assets to liquidate in order to pay more attorneys to wage their continuous war to stay in business and keep out of prison.

Now, Nancy Salzman has yet another attorney, Robert A. Soloway of Manhattan.


 

Soloway [above] is a law partner of one of Salzman’s other attorneys David Stern [below].

David Stern – best known for his defense of alleged murderers in capital punishment cases.

Nancy’s latest attorney, Robert A. Soloway, is a founding member of the firm Rothman, Schneider, Soloway & Stern, LLP and heads the firm’s civil rights and personal injury section.

He began his law career as an associate with Munves, Tanenhaus & Storch, P.C., where his practice focused on the defense of asbestos-­related personal injury claims on behalf of a Fortune 500 company.

In 1985, he joined Jacobs & Deutsch, P.C. as an associate concentrating in general corporate and tort litigation, contracts, and real estate.

In 1987, he joined the Criminal Defense Division of the Legal Aid Society as a staff attorney, where he represented indigent individuals accused of crimes in the Supreme and Criminal Courts of New York State. He and his partners founded Rothman, Schneider, Soloway & Stern, LLP  in 1993, and he maintains a diverse practice including criminal trial and appeal matters, civil rights, and general injury litigation.

​In addition to trial and appeal of serious criminal cases, including murder, rape, terrorism, and the defense of narcotics crimes, Robert served as lead counsel in civil actions, and earned millions in settlements and jury verdicts for clients in litigation of false arrests, police brutality, malicious criminal prosecution, as well as slip and falls, medical and legal malpractice, and automobile accident cases.

The number of attorneys now stand at 18 – which will go up to 19 if the Bronfman sisters decide to hire a new attorney for Kathy Russell.
