Celebrities in legal trouble, most recently Jonathan Majors, are turning to defense attorney Priya Chaudhry to duke it out for them in court.
law firm is a toddler-size stuffed sloth. “We call him our comfort sloth,” the defense attorney says, before lifting the plushie off a couch and wrapping it around my neck tightly enough that, for a moment, it’s hard to breathe. “Go ahead and give him a hug.” The sloth — and thefigurines on Chaudhry’s desk and the gold peacock-printed wallpaper — are supposed to help clients relax. “The people who come up that elevator are incredibly stressed,” she explains.
She is not shy about her criticisms of the Me Too movement: “I represent women also. I’m aware that women can lie.” And she’ll do it wearing a peacock-printed coat and gold sneakers. Since she can’t cosplay as “an old white man,” Chaudhry tells me, “I might as well wear things that are awesome and bold.” Even after practicing law for nearly 25 years, she says, “I get stopped by security and asked if I’m the interloper. No one ever thinks I’m a lawyer.”
Honestly, I don’t give a shit,” Chaudhry says of her critics. “The idea that I should coddle” Grace Jabbari, she says, feels like suggesting “I should coddle the woman who accused Emmett Till. Other critics tell me they feel the way Chaudhry treats witnesses on the stand is out of touch. Salzman thinks her “aggressive lawyering” is an ineffective strategy with New York’s young, progressive jury pool. “Honestly, I don’t give a shit,” Chaudhry says of her haters. “The idea that I should coddle” Jabbari, she continues, feels like suggesting “I should coddle the woman who accused Emmett Till.
