Howard K. Stern Defense Team Announced
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."
