Justin Timberlake was arrested for a DWI last night in the Hamptons.
Embarrassing as that is, JT should be fine. He’s got the right lawyer.
Edward Burke, Jr. is the local defense lawyer to the stars. When anyone famous is in trouble, he’s the go -to guy.
When Jason Kidd was arrested for driving into a tree, it was Burke who got the leaves out of his exhaust pipe.
When Lizzie Grubman backed up over 16 people in front of a nightclub, she called Burke.
Burke’s family, they say, has been in Sag Harbor since 1820. (How did they even get there? How did they get food?)
His family Edward Burke Sr. is a famous lawyer and former local judge. Both of Edward Jr’s siblings are local lawyers. Burke is considered a local celebrity himself.
So JT will be fine legally, just a little dented PR wise. But life will go on. He’ll do his shows in Chicago this weekend, and Madison Square Garden next week. The big question is Why was he driving himself? And also, why was he even in Sag Harbor?
