Tom Brady wins Super Bowls, Jeffrey Kessler overturns suspensions.
Brady’s high-powered lawyer, appointed to him by the NFL Players Association in the wake of the controversial Deflategate penalties, is one of the best in the business. Players love him, lawyers respect him, and, most importantly, the NFL fears him.
“From everything I know about Kessler, he’s an exceptional lawyer,” said Clayton Halunen, a Minneapolis attorney who represented punter Chris Kluwe in an investigation against the Minnesota Vikings. “He’s an aggressive attorney who will fight, and he has been successful at fighting. He makes things happen.”
Halunen cited the case of Adrian Peterson, a running back for the Vikings suspended for assaulting his son.
