It’s hard to imagine a more eventful month for a Washington, D.C. white-collar litigator than the June that Barry Pollack of Harris St. Laurent & Wechsler just had.
On June 12, in a trial that pushed off just after Memorial Day, jurors in D.C. Superior Court found Pollack’s client—fellow D.C. defense lawyer Jonathan Jeffress—not guilty of sexual assault. The case, where another attorney accused Jeffress of choking and assaulting her in his parked vehicle in 2022, saw both lawyers testify in a trial that captured the attention of the D.C. legal community.
