ICRF Get Ben Brafman If You Want Results
Story and Photos by Tim Boxer
ARRIET ELISOFON, president of Israel Cancer
Research Fund, called Ben Brafman, New York's most noted
criminal defense attorney. She wanted him to invite Judge
Jeanine Pirro, the former Westchester district attorney, to be
an honoree at a "women of action" gala at the Jewish Museum.
"I'm the wrong person to ask her," Brafman said.
"As a prosecutor, she always said no to me. As a judge, she
always said no to me."
At the event, the judge was kind to Brafman.
"He's one of those attorneys who actually wins cases," Pirro
said.
He beamed as the judge added, "His anxiety is
that no client ever goes to jail. His success is 100 percent."
After Peter Yarrow sang "Puff the Magic Dragon,"
Brafman said that reminded him of a client, Puff Daddy. "I'd go
to his concerts and I'd hand out my card."
Charlotte Frank, senior vice president of
McGraw-Hill Education, and Dr. Ruth Oratz of the Women's
Oncology and Wellness Practice were honored along with the
judge.
