Lee Bailey, and the jive class of a street tough"; Stephen Englund wrote a book called Man Slaughter about his brilliant defense of a battered housewife charged with murder and described him as a ‘dogged infighter’ to whom ‘everything is the Battle of the Marne’; the same case was the subject of full page articles in the law and justice sections of Time and Newsweek. Town and Country Magazine commissioned Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz to publish a list of the best lawyers in America; he named Eisenberg to the list.
