* NO LONGER PRACTICING LAW
The legacy of Alan D. Eisenberg has a history of controversy. His case scrapbook had been an eclectic mix of the accused: The famous, the notorious, the heinous, the indigent, the rich, doctors, lawyers, merchants, indian chiefs and several local prominent television broadcasters!

Lee Bailey, and the jive class of a street tough”; Stephen Englund wrote a book called Man Slaughter about his brilliant defense of a battered housewife charged with murder and described him as a ‘dogged infighter’ to whom ‘everything is the Battle of the Marne’; the same case was the subject of full page articles in the law and justice sections of Time and Newsweek.
