Cleaning Up

Lebedoff, a lawyer and senior vice president at Voyageur Asset Management, is smitten with his characters, particularly the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case. He seems even more enamored of his own words.... All in all, it's not always easy to write about friends. When it comes to the sad saga of the Exxon Valdez, Lebedoff, like Hazelwood, had a problem. If someone had intervened judiciously, perhaps neither of them would have run aground. -- The New York Times Book Review, David MargolickThe greatest virtue of Cleaning Up is that it clears away those old clich´és and shows the competing interest groups at play.... Cleaning Up is, for the most part, even-handed and well written. A lawyer himself, Lebedoff understands the issues at stake and explains them clearly. He relates important details the casual newspaper reader may have missed -- Reason, Jesse Walker
