Jay Bergen is an experienced trial lawyer based in New York City, with an impressive career spanning forty-five years. He is also the author of the captivating book titled “Lennon, the Mobster, & the Lawyer: The Untold Story.”

The book reveals the intriguing tale of how Jay and John Lennon instantly connected on February 3, 1975, the day they first met. Despite Jay’s initial awe of working with the legendary musician as his trusted advisor in the Morris Levy litigation, he managed to maintain a professional relationship, treating Lennon as “just another client.” This approach allowed Jay to effectively collaborate with Lennon in preparation for the January 1976 trial.

As their professional association evolved, Jay and Lennon developed a genuine friendship that had a profound impact on Jay’s life. This newfound connection empowered Jay to live life on his own terms, defying the expectations and desires of others.
