Criminal Attorney John Pollok Talks About Organized Crime
“Everything You Want To Know About Organized Crime But Are Afraid To Ask”. John Pollok enlivens the history of the Mafia with many personal anecdotes about some of the real people involved. Pollok has seen a lot first hand over his 40 years of legal experience and will give a unique and compelling report. Clients on whose behalf he has argued include former Congressman Mario Biaggi, baseball legend Willie McCovey, mobsters Tony (Tony Pro) Provenzano and Matty (The Horse) Ianello and, in the Gambino Boss’s final successful trial, John Gotti. He played a key role in cases ranging from Howard Beach to insider trading prosecutions.
