Keith M. Davidson
Davidson was born in Massachusetts in 1971, and raised in Brockton, a working-class suburb of Boston, in a large Irish American family whose several generations of firefighters included Davidson's father. Brockton calls itself the "City of Champions", since title-winning boxers Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler were natives. During the latter's tenure as middleweight champion during the 1980s, Davidson and other local children often ran after the fighter in the streets as he ran while training for fights.
Keith M. Davidson
Davidson quickly settled with her. He claimed to have obtained the copyright on the sex tape from its original owner and offered it to her as long as the settlement absolved him of any professional wrongdoing. While he was vague about how he had acquired the copyright, he defended his actions in the "Smoking Gun" article. "... [I] was willing to give it back to her for nothing", he said. "I thought that it was probably an admirable thing to do and a way to get rid of the whole case."

However rumors of a betting fix tainted the championship. After the series, Davidson returned Shelby and played there in 1907.

Keith M. Davidson
Hogan continues to seek the source of the tape. In 2015 the portion in which he had used racist language was made public by "The National Enquirer", causing World Wrestling Entertainment to fire him and remove him from its hall of fame. After his lawsuit against "Gawker", which had caused controversy when it was revealed to have been funded by tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who had his own grudge against the site, ended the next year with a verdict that forced it into bankruptcy and shut it down, Hogan sued Davidson, along with Gawker, Loyd, Burbridge and several other persons and businesses connected to them in state court, alleging they conspired with "Gawker" so the site could obtain the recordings later published by the "Enquirer" to persuade Hogan to drop his suit. Davidson has represented himself; in early 2018 the court denied his motion to compel arbitration. He has moved to have the case against him dismissed.
Leonard Arthur Kitz
While serving in England in 1945, Kitz met and married Dr. Alice Duff Findlay. The two returned to Halifax after the war where Kitz opened his own law firm, located on Granville Street.

To represent him, Davidson retained A. Brian Albritton, former United States Attorney for the Middle District of Florida, whose successor's office would be considering the case. Albritton compiled a lengthy dossier of statements attesting to his client's general good character, as well as negative material on Clem that might come up in a trial, such as fines by the Federal Communication Commission over his sexually charged radio shows. He suggested that prosecuting the case would hurt the image of the U.S. Attorney's office and provoke resentment against it.
Dennis M. Cavanaugh
Cavanaugh began his legal career as a law clerk to Judge Francis W. Hayden in the New Jersey Superior Court (1972–73). He was then an Assistant Deputy Public Defender for the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender (1973–77) before entering private practice in various law firms in New Jersey (1977–92).

Keith M. Davidson
A connection from Davidson's youth led to him branching out into managing boxers. After he had begun practicing law, he was introduced to fellow Boston-area native Freddie Roach, who trained boxers and mixed martial arts fighters. Through Roach, he took a role in managing boxers James Toney and Manny Pacquiao for several years, often visible at the latter's side when he went out in public.
Keith M. Davidson
Some of the lawyers who have represented counterparties in negotiations with Davidson speak well of him. "For the niche he has carved out—which I guess most people would shy away from—he's always struck me as honorable and a man of his word", Mark Geragos, who estimated to "The Smoking Gun" that he has represented celebrities on whom Davidson's clients have material approximately 10 times, told Bastone. "He's more interested in making money for his clients rather than getting publicity for himself", said Martin Singer, attorney for Charlie Sheen. Cohen told Redden that Davidson had "always been professional, ethical and a true gentleman."
Mike Tyson vs. Peter McNeeley
Tyson had twice defeated the number two ranked heavyweight, Donovan "Razor" Ruddock, in 1991. Shortly after his second victory over Ruddock, a blockbuster deal was made that would see Tyson face the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield on November 8, 1991. Before this match could take place, however, Tyson was arrested for the rape of 18-year-old Desiree Washington. He was subsequently convicted on February 10, 1992, and then sentenced to six years in prison on March 26. After serving three years, Tyson was paroled on March 25, 1995, and on March 2, he would hold a short press conference that would announce his return to boxing as well as that Don King would remain his promoter. After much debate over who would be Tyson's first opponent in his comeback, including talks about a potential superfight with George Foreman, it was announced that Tyson would face little-known Peter McNeeley on August 19, 1995.

He also represented a number of clients in commercial and employment law cases. Together with his associates, Weiss co-chaired two successful whistleblower cases.
Kit Carson
In 1818 Lindsay Carson died instantly when a tree limb fell on him while he was clearing a field. Kit was about 8 years old. Despite being penniless, his mother took care of her children alone for four years. She then married Joseph Martin, a widower with several children. Kit was a young teenager at the time and did not get along with his stepfather. The decision was made to apprentice him to David Workman, a saddler in Franklin, Missouri.

Keith M. Davidson
"You don't want to write about me", Davidson told "New York"s Molly Redden. "I'm so boring. I'm so, so boring." He has said he tries to remain "under the radar" since many of the cases he handles involving celebrities concern potentially embarrassing material. "I'm sort of in the secret business."

Kent Dawson
Dawson was born in 1944 in Ogden, Utah, and attended Weber State College in Ogden on athletic and music scholarships, graduating in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He received his Juris Doctor from the University of Utah Law School in 1971, and served as a law clerk for James Guinan, a Nevada state court judge.

Keith M. Davidson
Since Davidson had represented only himself in the case, he said, he claimed he was not violating the terms of his suspension, although he did not answer a question as to whether Tequila's boyfriend, also a defendant and the original owner of the tape, had been represented by separate counsel. However, shortly afterward Capri Anderson, another adult-film actress who alleged that she had been assaulted by Charlie Sheen, was referred to Davidson, and he began acting on her behalf in ways that appeared to "The Smoking Gun" to constitute practicing law.
Keith M. Davidson
These cases resulted in three complaints against Davidson to the state bar. In 2010 he accepted culpability for incompetence in the practice of law and willful violations of professional rules, including mishandling client funds and failure to keep a client informed of the progress of their case; he was suspended from practicing law for two years, to be followed by three years' probation requiring attendance at an ethics class and regular updates from other lawyers. However, after other lawyers filed letters of their own with the bar noting his lack of prior misconduct and "overall honesty", that suspension was reduced to 90 days. Davidson says that the neglected cases that led to the suspension were the result of being "spread a little too thin."

Kim Davidson
In 1999, for a profile in "Playback magazine" Davidson, said he had been fascinated by the technical details of how animation worked since he was a child watching Saturday morning cartoons, like Magilla Gorilla.
As a teenager Davidson had constructed his own small animation studio in his parents' home. Initially Davidson was planning to study animation at Sheridan College, but switched to the University of Waterloo's Architecture program—a field of study where he thought he could combine both his technical and artistic sides. However, after several years he added Computer Science, and graduated with a double major in both Architecture and Computer Science, in 1978.
Keith M. Davidson
Davidson has become best known for representing clients who have, or claim to have, documentary material that could adversely affect the reputations of celebrities they were acquainted with or worked for if made public, but will return those materials to the celebrity without sharing them with the media if they are paid sufficiently. He has been sued by three of those celebrities alleging extortion. During negotiations over Hulk Hogan's sex tape in 2012, he was detained by FBI agents conducting a sting operation, although no charges were ever filed.

Keith M. Davidson
In early 2018 Daniels broke her silence and recounted the affair to Anderson Cooper on "60 Minutes". By then she too had fired Davidson; her new lawyer, Michael Avenatti, charged that Davidson had colluded with Cohen both in his client's case and McDougal's to protect Trump. In June she sued Davidson for malpractice; two days later Davidson countersued her and Avenatti alleging defamation. He had earlier said that her claims were inaccurate and that he looked forward to correcting them "in an appropriate forum".

Davidson's involvement with Daniels interested special prosecutor Robert Mueller, who had been investigating the payment. Cohen had ultimately set up a limited liability corporation to make the payment from his own pocket; however it had been suggested he was to be reimbursed by Trump personally or his campaign, a payment which was not at the time reported as a campaign expense. After Cohen's office was searched by the FBI in mid-April, prosecutors asked Davidson to turn over "certain electronic records" from his interactions with Cohen.
David Keith-Lucas
David Keith-Lucas was an apprentice and engineer with C.A. Parsons and Co. from 1933 to 1940, then moved to the aerodynamics office of Short Brothers, Rochester, famous for their flying boats, becoming their chief aerodynamicist in 1944.
Keith M. Davidson
Davidson settled a legal malpractice case brought by a woman who said that not only had he made false claims in her legal pleadings, he had apparently lost interest in her tort case against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office when he learned her injuries were not as severe as he had originally believed and thus would not have earned him a high contingency fee. Clients in several other cases charged that Davidson had mishandled their cases, and/or put his interests above their own; they also recalled that, in his ads and personal consultations, Davidson had represented his firm as employing dozens of talented and skilled lawyers when he in fact employed only a single paralegal. A couple suing the state over an injury their son received at a state mental hospital learned that Davidson's repeated failure to appear on their behalf had led the judge to dismiss their case a long time after that had happened.
Kerry Shine
Prior to his election to Parliament, Shine was admitted as a solicitor in 1972 and, in June 1977, founded Shine Lawyers, a litigation firm that has grown into a nationwide company with over 40 offices providing personalised legal assistance to tens of thousands of Australians. In 1999 he co-founded Gouldson Legal (then known as Shine Gouldson Lawyers) alongside Faran Gouldson. Gouldson Legal is a plaintiff personal injury litigation firm specialising in Queensland personal injury compensation claims.
Keith M. Davidson
Before McDougal left her Arizona home for Los Angeles, Davidson told her that AMI had already put half a million dollars into escrow for her. At AMI, vice president Dylan Howard had her retell all the details of the affair for two hours. But afterwards Davidson told her that the company was not interested, and that there had in fact never been any money in escrow. Only later, she claimed, did she learn that Davidson had called Michael Cohen, one of Trump's lawyers, about her conversation with AMI; Davidson called it "a professional courtesy".
Keith Ellison
Keith Ellison, the third of five sons, was raised Catholic in Detroit, Michigan, by his parents, Leonard Ellison, a social worker and psychiatrist, and Clida (Martinez) Ellison. Ellison and three of his brothers became lawyers; his other brother became a doctor. One of Ellison's brothers is also the pastor of the Baptist "Church of the New Covenant" in Detroit. Ellison's youth was influenced by the involvement of his family in the Civil Rights Movement, including his grandfather's work as a member of the NAACP in Louisiana.
Keith Ellison
In November 2002, Ellison was elected to his first public office, as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives serving House District 58B. At the time he took his seat, his party was the smallest House minority in Minnesota history. During this session, Ellison was appointed to the Governmental Operations & Veterans Affairs Policy Committee, the Judiciary Policy & Finance Committee and the Local Government & Metropolitan Affairs Committee. He also spearheaded an ethics complaint against Rep. Arlon Lindner for a speech Lindner made that Ellison alleged amounted to a denial that homosexuals were persecuted during the Holocaust.

Keith M. Davidson
While he has downplayed the role that that business plays in his legal practice, he is aware that has defined him and that he has been seen as the lawyer to retain in these cases. On the recorded conversations in the Hulk Hogan case he is heard telling David Houston, Hogan's attorney, that these cases are "my specialty"; Houston said he was "amazed that there was a lawyer actually making a living doing this". Both Bastone, who reported on what seemed to him like an effort on Davidson's part to blackmail him out of writing his story, and Redden likened him to Saul Goodman, the profit-driven lawyer in the TV series "Breaking Bad" who helps launder profits from illegal drug sales. Kevin Blatt, who had referred some clients to Davidson in the early 2010s, now no longer does because "he flies too close to the fucking sun".
Mike Tyson
Tyson made his professional debut as an 18-year-old on March 6, 1985, in Albany, New York. He defeated Hector Mercedes via first round TKO. He had 15 bouts in his first year as a professional. Fighting frequently, Tyson won 26 of his first 28 fights by KO or TKO; 16 of those came in the first round. The quality of his opponents gradually increased to journeyman fighters and borderline contenders, like James Tillis, David Jaco, Jesse Ferguson, Mitch Green, and Marvis Frazier. His win streak attracted media attention and Tyson was billed as the next great heavyweight champion. D'Amato died in November 1985, relatively early into Tyson's professional career, and some speculate that his death was the catalyst to many of the troubles Tyson was to experience as his life and career progressed.

Keith M. Davidson
Their new lawyer, Sean Bral, reviewed the settlement and audited the records of the payments, which went from Sheen to Davidson's client trust account, then to Montgomery and Davidson, with smaller portions to Blatt and Quinlan. He came to believe that Davidson had committed several ethical violations in order to make more than his $800,000 share of the settlement, money which he likely needed given his recent financial difficulties. Davidson, Bral alleged, had billed Montgomery more than her stay in rehab had actually cost, taken more money at the beginning than he was entitled to and shared his fees with non-lawyers (Blatt and Quinlan), a practice the California bar prohibits. He had also modified their agreement on the sharing of the settlement without giving her a chance to have another lawyer review it.
