Neal Raymond Hersh

Spear’s Review

Hersh Mannis founding partner Neal Raymond Hersh is a rare breed of trial lawyer whose service never stops: ‘I don’t want any client stewing overnight about something when I could have spent five minutes on the phone and made his or her situation more at ease,’ he says.

Hersh first rose to fame through helping Robin Givens divorce Mike Tyson in 1989. Soon he found himself ‘representing every actress in Hollywood’, involving huge sums.

It’s been a ‘fascinating’ four decades for Hersh, who says of family law: ‘It’s interesting but also challenging. You’re learning a million things – and you never stop.’
