He is up against one of the most famous lawyers in the United States. Marty Singer has represented countless stars, including A-listers Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is the guy you go to if you need a good lawyer for the stars (and can afford one) although it is safe to say that he has never had a case quite like this one.

In fact Travolta’s lawyer is already threatening to counter-sue Okorie Okorocha and the two clients who raised the allegations against John for bringing (they say) phony allegations to court:

“The problem in America is anyone can sue anyone. However, in this case this unidentified plaintiff [John Doe] and his lawyer will regret they filed this fabricated suit. We intend to sue both of them for malicious prosecution.”

But Okorocha has come back swinging for the fences:

“If Marty Singer thinks he can sue me on the validity of Mr. Travolta’s denials, and if he wants to file the lawsuit now, I will give him a waiver allowing him to proceed with it at this stage of the case, even though under California law he has to wait until he wins the case, and that absolutely won’t be happening. It will never happen, he won’t win, so we might as well get it over with now. Bring it on.”

Bring it on, indeed. So who is this David among lawyers, Okorie Okorocha?

Biography: He is a sexual harassment and employment discrimination attorney located in Pasadena, California, which is located in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. He works on sexual discrimination cases and other matters for a law firm that he partners with his brother. You can find it through their Twitter page here. As you can see, both of them could benefit from a visit to a hair-club for men.

Although he takes sexual harassment cases such as the massage scandal, Okorocha is mainly known for expertise in drunk driving cases. He has taken many DUI cases to trial, and won them, and is in fact a member of the California DUI Lawyers Association and an expert witness on the subject. You can see him strutting his stuff in the video below.

Okorie Okorocha has a bachelor of arts degree in 1999 from California State University, Northridge campus and a law degree from Whittier College in 2002. Neither of these are top of the line, but who needs gravitas when you are willing to go tooth and nail with the elite lawyersin the country.

By the way, Okorie is studying to obtain a master’s degree in forensic science from the University of Florida. That must be an on-line program because he can’t very well attend classes in Florida when he is practicing law in California.

According to his public profile, which you can find here, Okorie has nine years of litigation experience and he mentions spending more time in the courtroom that most other lawyers. He bills himself as California’s “most aggressive and prolific trial lawyer.”

That doesn’t bode well for Travolta. Usually the Hollywood stars want these things to go away quickly and quietly.

I really love the photo of the dashing looking Mr. Okorocha and his brother sitting between three lawyerly women with their hands on him.These gals are the sweet part of his legal team, accomplished attorneys in their own right.

So that is what we know about the John Travolta massage scandal lawyer. He is up against a Hollywood bigshot with a bigshot attorney, but Okorie Okorocha and his team is not shrinking from the fight.
