When Herman Cain held the long-awaited news conference late Tuesday afternoon to tackle allegations that he sexually harassed four women, a smooth-talking Southern attorney was the first person to step to the microphone.
Cain’s lawyer is L. Lin Wood, a well-known Atlanta-based trial attorney who has carved out a successful career representing the high-profile and falsely accused, often seeking eye-popping damages for those he believes have been libeled or slandered in the press.
Former CBS news anchor Dan Rather once called Wood the “attorney for the damned.”
When asked why he had chosen to represent Cain, Wood cited the media circus.
“I have spent many years representing clients who have seen their reputations and lives destroyed by false accusations in the media,” Wood wrote in an e-mail message to The Post Tuesday evening. “I believe that Herman Cain has been unfairly put on trial in the court of public opinion based on reports from unknown or anonymous sources, rumor, speculation and inherently improbable statements by the most recent accuser.”
With Wood’s hiring, Cain has a powerful ally on his side. A partner with Wood Hernacki & Evans LLC, Wood has a three-decade-long career prosecuting, and defending, celebrity clients, sometimes winning mega-settlements on their behalf. He is a fierce advocate....

L. Lin Wood>>>>>
He looked good on TV. And that’s what counts these days. Just his appearance will convince other female opportunists + their lawyers to do nothing rather than be made fools
This guy changed reporting forever... he is the reason news outlets never use the term “suspect” anymore.
but instead say person of interest.
Cain was VERY smart to hire THIS particular man.
Gloria is wetting her panties by now.
Not necessarily. He might be doing it for nearly free because he likes Herman Cain and has the promise of a few favors if HC gets elected. This is what is going on IMHO
She’s lucky if that’s the only material soiling her panties. If she wears panties.
dittos! He is for real
What if Wood gets Allred to give information on who Bialek was working with the Democrats or Republicans and gives names for a settlement to save Allred and Bialek from going thru hell.
So, go find a candidate and watch while that candidate gets attacked and slandered and his supporters run away.
What do you think the dems are going to do, applaud and praise your candidate?
Look at what they did to GWB, Sarah, Reagan, Michelle, etc.
They have no morals, they lie, they and Soros have money to pay people to say whatever.
Maybe you just need to ask them who they want you to put into office.
Google is you friend.
Interesting that he/she did not respond to your question.
I could just tell he was an amazing and powerful attorney.

Cain finally figured out that if you are going to wheel out your lawyer/thug to front for you (bimbo Democrat stooge) I will do you one better and show you mine. L. Lin Wood who is more high powered and who your punk-arse publicity hound lawyer rather not get engaged with because he come will end up the loser
1989? DUI? What?
That’s why everybody needs to get behind Cain.
Perry isn’t likely going to have a surge and is likely done.
If every Tea Partier sent Cain 50 bucks, he’d likely have enough to go toe-to-toe with anybody.
Dog + cats
Yes, it is. He/she was quite vocal about everything else.
Wood would be willing to do it for free, for the simple reason that high profile cases are millions of dollars of future business.
Plus, he’d get a really nifty write-off.
“But were this a Democrat with now 5 allegations and 2 settlements/severances..folks were would not be so understanding...”
The money-shot.
None of the Republicans running? You think they are all jokers? So who do you support or wish was running?
