Bruce Cutler: Flamboyant Defense Lawyer and friend of late mob boss John Gotti

Bruce Cutler
Allan Wolper for WBGO

Bruce Cutler made his bones as one of the most flamboyant and controversial defense attorneys in recent history. His personal and professional relationship with the late mafia boss, John Gotti, known as “Teflon Don,” made headlines and spawned controversy.  

Cutler graduated cum laude from Hamilton College, where he starred in football and lacrosse, and  was an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn. He chronicled his courtroom life in Closing Argument: Defending (and Befriending) John Gotti and other legal battles I have waged.
