Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas, a self-described jokester, is hardly the ideal client, all the more reason he needs a good lawyer. In the wake of a Dec. 21 incident at Washington’s Verizon Center, Arenas is now the target of a grand jury probe for bringing guns into the city. He has hired O’Melveny & Myers partner Kenneth Wainstein to lead his defense.
Wainstein is familiar with the city’s strict gun laws. In fact, as U.S. attorney in Washington from 2004 until 2006, Wainstein was responsible for enforcing them, and O’Melveny & Myers defended those same laws before the U.S. Supreme Court in D.C. v. Heller.
