Timberlake's Criminal Attorney to the Stars
Justin Timberlake hired Sag Harbor legal eagle Ed Burke Jr for his DWI case
Justin's attorney has represented a gamut of notable names out east.
In 2015, the attorney represented a pre #MeToo era Matt Lauer in his fight with his Water Mill neighbors to plant trees along his property in an effort to combat noise from adjoining properties that were spooking his horses.
In 2017, Ed represented Harvey Weinstein in a fender bender incident in a parking lot in the Hamptons, where the disgraced movie mogul allegedly tried to drive away.
In 2001, he represented Lizzie Grubman, a nightlife publicist whose car careened into a crowd of 16 people in front of a Hamptons club, before fleeing the scene.
Justin is set to embark on The Forget Tomorrow World Tour in just a few days.
He's kicking off the musical experience in Chicago, Illinois on June 21 at the United Center.
Justin will then return to New York City for his two-night set at the iconic Madison Square Garden on June 25 and 26.
After a string of dates in the US, Justin kicks off his Europe shows in Poland on July 26, the same day as his court date.
He is also set to perform in Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
Justin will return to the US in October for the second leg of his tour.
A source previously revealed to The U.S. Sun that Justin is desperate not to cancel any of his shows.
"Justin’s team will be working to see if they can make sure he can perform in Poland," the source said.
