Michael Jackson’s legal team has added a new attorney to address the Robson and Safechuck case.
Court documents reveal that Benjamin R. Barron, an attorney from Keller/Anderle LLP, has informed the court of his involvement in representing Michael’s companies, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures.
Barron will work alongside Thomas Mesereau and two other firms in defending the companies against the claims brought by Wade Robson and James Safechuck. Having joined the firm in June, Barron is now part of the defense team.
According to the firm’s website, Barron is a former Chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Orange County. As a former prosecutor, he led a team of 40 trial attorneys and professionals handling complex federal cases such as securities fraud, public corruption, and racketeering.
His notable cases include leading a 47-defendant prosecution of a transnational organization involved in murder and large-scale cocaine trafficking, a 38-defendant racketeering case against a Mexican Mafia-linked street gang, and an 18-defendant Medicare fraud scheme totaling $20 million orchestrated by Eurasian organized crime.
