Felder is a fame-hungry divorce lawyer to the rich and famous. His celebrity client list includes Martin Scorsese, Rudy Giuliani, and David Gest.

Reared in Williamsburg, Felder started his legal career at the Department of Justice. When a friend of his brother offered him $7,500 to try his divorce case, he left government work behind and turned to matrimonial law. Since then, Felder's represented a steady stream of celebrities and celebrity spouses at his firm Raoul Lionel Felder, P.C. His client list over the past two decades has included Robin Givens (against Mike Tyson), Larry Fortensky (against Elizabeth Taylor), model Luciana Morad (a paternity suit against Mick Jagger), Shaniqua Jackson (against 50 Cent), and Rudy Giuliani, whom Felder represented in his divorce from Donna Hanover. Felder's taste for high-profile splits—and his love of the spotlight—has made him something of a celebrity in his own right.

Felder is the master of trying divorces in the court of public opinion, although his press tactics can occasionally backfire, as was the case when he was caught badmouthing Donna Hanover to reporters one Mother's Day weekend. Other divorce lawyers roll their eyes at Felder's antics, and Felder's shtick can be too much even for some of his most press-hungry clients: David Gest—who'd initially hired Felder in his split from Liza Minnelli—said he dumped Felder because the case generated too much attention. Still, many of Felder's clients are more than happy to find themselves the subject of so much attention, particularly when they're hoping the media glare will force the opposing side to settle quickly and make the problem go away. Always striving to maximize his public exposure, Felder used to co-host Crossing the Line, a show on PBS with Borscht Belt icon Jackie Mason; he and Mason have since teamed up to write several books. He periodically pops up on Fox News and other cable channels to pontificate on the celebrity breakup du jour. [Image via Getty]
