Pete Doherty’s lawyer
Making more court appearances than Roger Federer

Since his 2003 criminal debut for burgling then-bandmate Carl Barat’s apartment, the Baby­shambles frontman has been arrested at least 20 times — including three times in one magical day in January 2006. Most of the busts have been for heroin and crack possession, with the odd assault charge thrown in. Doherty has shown up late to court, assaulted a reporter in front of the courthouse and allegedly given one judge the finger. “The hardest part is probably his unpredictability — whether he’ll turn up for conferences,” says Samantha Cohen, a criminal-defense lawyer in London. Despite Doherty’s string of broken pledges to clean up, his indefatigable lawyer, Sean Curran, has mostly kept him out of prison. “He has a fairly faultless record,” Cohen says. “Pete’s a complete moron if he isn’t grateful.”
