Alex and Ani's Lawsuits "Not Anything We're Worried About," Says Geragos, Hollywood Star Lawyer

Rhode Island jeweler Alex and Ani might be involved in the "Trial of the Century," but lawyer Mark Geragos told GoLocal that he has no doubts that the company will prevail. Geragos is one of Hollywood's biggest celebrity lawyers having represented rapper Chris Brown and Michael Jackson over the years. When asked about his relationship with the often legal troubled Brown, Geragos said that the rapper is "like a son and an annuity" to him.

"For lack of a better word," we've got a couple of knuckleheads, [and] it's not at the forefront of anything we're worried about," said Geragos. "Unfortunately when you become successful people want to take an elevator to the penthouse and that won't happen here, trust me."

Geragos explained how he met Alex and Ani CEO Carolyn Rafaelian - and spoke to how the "company culture" brought him in.

"I was at a charity event at Carolyn's Sakonnet Vineyard -- she was doing a fundraiser for an Armenian orphanage," said Geragos. "They have a unique blend of doing humanitarian work...Carolyn was the hit in New York this week."

Model, entrepreneur and activist Gisele Bündchen, co-anchor of Good Morning America Robin Roberts; and Rafaelian were among the women recognized Tuesday in New York City by the David Lynch Foundation (DLF), a global charitable organization that addresses the epidemic of trauma and toxic stress amongst at-risk populations.
