Justin Timberlake has hired one of the foremost defense attorneys on Long Island, with a reputation for helping high-profile clients who have gotten into trouble on the road.
Edward ‘Eddie’ Burke Jr. appeared stony-faced as he accompanied Timberlake out of Sag Harbor courthouse Tuesday where the prince of pop was arraigned following a suspected DWI.
But handling Timberlake’s high-profile legal issue is hardly Burke’s first rodeo out east.
For decades, the smooth-talking attorney with a gift for client relations has taken on the legal dust-ups of stars like Dallas Mavericks’ head coach Jason Kidd, noughties tabloid princess Lizzie Grubman, convicted Hamptons murderer Daniel Pelosi, and disgraced NBC star Matt Lauer.
Burke, who has promised to ‘vigorously defend’ Timberlake, is a staple on the Hamptons social circuit – and not just when he shows up at odd hours to the county jail to begin negotiating VIP pleas.
