Reviews:
-Mackenzie, founder of a public relations firm that specializes in court-related work and high-profile criminal trials, explains the importance of media relations for both the accused and accuser in trails. In each chapter, she describes a media relations challenge, including cases involving celebrities (O.J. Simpson, Russell Crowe, Robert Blake), custody disputes, serious and white-collar crimes, and Andrea Yates. She includes a chapter on media training for lawyers. The book was written for subjects and lawyers of high-profile cases and those interested in them. —Reference & Research Book News
-It is an anecdotal book, easy to read, and authoritative. It focuses mainly on public relations strategies and tactics in high-profile criminal cases (including white-collar), though Mackenzie also talks about dealing with the press in high-profile custody disputes, personal injury cases, and others. —Law Marketing Bibliography
