Judith Poller

Spear's Review

The lawyer of choice for notable HNWs – ‘My clients are high-end because my billing rate is high,’ she says – Judith Poller has acted for stars such as Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore. ‘Privacy is a huge concern to celebrity clients,’ she notes. ‘People are so interested in their lives, and the fact that they are going through a divorce only makes them more interesting. I do my best to make sure that their divorce doesn’t play out in the press.’

Dubbed by the US press as ‘the Hollywood Troubleshooter’, Poller’s work is varied. ‘I do everything from prenuptial agreements to paternity suits, divorce, cohabitation issues... the whole gamut,’ she says.

Poller frequently lectures on family law and appears in media commenting on legal issues. She has been named as one of the US's top family lawyers on many occasions.
