50. Frank Doddato
2003 Power List
The get-out-of-jail guy. After seven years in the Nassau D.A.’s office prosecuting wiseguys, Doddato moved over to the defense. He doesn’t do a lot of pro bono work (although he does take on difficult cases at the court’s request), and he doesn’t always win outright. But hey, when your DNA matches and there’s a bloody trail to your door (as with teen client Robert Venezia), a seven-year discount from the maximum looks pretty good. LOVE HIM for answering your one phone call from the precinct. FEAR the mafiosi he has kept out of jail.
