ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
A legal defense team has been formed to represent Howard K. Stern to combat
charges brought against him earlier this month by the State of California
related to medications prescribed to Anna Nicole Smith by her treating
physicians. 

Leading the team will be prominent criminal defense attorney Steven H. Sadow of
Atlanta, along with criminal defense attorney J. Christopher Smith of Los
Angeles, Calif. Civil litigators L. Lin Wood of Atlanta and M. Krista Barth of
Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. will be assisting Sadow and Smith in Stern's defense. 

"Despite Howard Stern's lack of financial resources, I welcome the opportunity
to lead this national defense team of professionals who are dedicated to the
representation of an innocent man," said Sadow. He added, "This unjust
prosecution threatens not only Mr. Stern, it also threatens physician-patient
relationships and the efforts of individuals to assist loved ones, particularly
celebrities, in protecting their privacy while receiving medical care and
treatment ordered by their physicians."
