Big Time Lawyer Enters Dodgers Divorce Battle

David Boies is a big-time lawyer who represented Al Gore in the 2000 Presidential Election litigation and he also beat Microsoft in an anti-trust lawsuit.  Boies is now entering the Dodgers divorce fray on behalf of Jamie McCourt.  Boies isn't a divorce lawyer.  He's more of a business litigator.  His retention by Jamie McCourt signals that she's going all-out to extract either an ownership interest in the Dodgers from estranged husband Frank or at least a huge financial payday to back off the ownership demand. 

Boies recently handled the trial on behalf of proponents of gay marriage in California in the Proposition 8 case that is near conclusion in San Francisco federal court.  By all accounts, Boies did a masterful job at that trial.

Can this Dodger divorce get any nastier?  You bet.  The fun has only begun.
