I have no tears to shed for him.My feelings against those who betrayed MJ,runs deep.He will answer to his creator,RIP though.
You definitely know very little about MJ’s business if you are counting Weizman as betrayer. MJ as everybody else should have more “betrayers” like him around.
Very good and loyal lawyer. RIP Howard....
But feeling really sorry for such uninformed individuals like you.

Wow, I didn't know that he was sick. May he Rest In Peace. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

MJ's associates, collaborators and employees are dying out.

Very sad. Weitzman was around in the '90s and provided that much-needed context to the current BS. He was also featured in those E! TV reenactments of the 2005 case.

Most of them are not young chickens anymore plus illnesses happen at any age. Except Frank DiLeo most of them could retired while ago. Hopefully they have some protégés who they train well to continue good job. For sure Howard Weitzman had one...

RIP to Howard, this is a true shocker - I came on here after seeing Prince's post.

Michael's associates, employees and the like for sure are dying out - Howard was a force to be reckoned with post Michael's death in the last decade.

I just saw it on the news-didn't see this post yesterday. Very touching words from Prince-glad to know that the kids appreciate him and what he's done.

agree!! I don’t either. I didn’t trust him at all.
I'm sure I have no idea what either of you are talking about. Perhaps you have him mixed up with someone else....like Brian Oxman, for example??

Anyway, this is the condolence message from John Branca and the Estate team:

“We are heartbroken at the passing of our friend and colleague Howard Weitzman. Howard has always been a relentless fighter for righteous causes and ferociously fought for Michael during his lifetime and after. He has been an integral part of the Estate team. Howard brought more than just his skills as a brilliant lawyer to the team; he had the uncanny ability to find ways to resolve issues outside of the courtroom – a skill not all litigators possess. And one of the truly amazing things about Howard was how he could make anyone he met – whether they were on the same side as him or opposing him – feel like a respected colleague and his friend. It is his friendship we will miss most of all.”

Listed at the top of Mr. Weitzman's achievements in representative matters:

  • The representation of The Estate of Michael Jackson in numerous litigation matters, including a lawsuit against Lloyds of London seeking to recover proceeds from a cancellation insurance policy covering Michael Jackson’s planned “This Is It” concert tour and disputes arising out of the exploitation of Mr. Jackson’s intellectual property. Mr. Weitzman provides strategic support for the Estate on an ongoing basis with respect to a variety of legal and business issues, including the administration of the Estate, the handling of creditors’ claims and the restructuring of debt obligations.

With all due respect, this is the same guy who wanted to negotiate a settlement before the September 14 lawsuit was filed because "we'll all make a lot of money."

His knowledge with regard to the 2005 case was also VERY poor. For instance, he said:

He [Gavin] gave the first story, which was there were five molestations. Then he gave a different story to the Department of Social Services and said nothing happened. Then he gave a third story to the lawyers. And then he got up and testified that it happened twice.

I would love to know what you are talking about lol ? Michael’s family (his 3 children) appreciate Weitzman’s work very much...
So if his 3 children are his only family why were they not the ones the fans were calling out to defend him against wade and them?

Can we please have some respect in an R.I.P. thread, FFS?! This isn't the place to be bringing up old news and misplaced resentments that are clearly off topic.

Have no idea what you are talking about. Like in all other families children and wife are the main beneficiaries of the man money and properties. Jackson had no wife at the time of his death but wanted to support his mother as long as she will be alive. No other family members should expect anything more from him.

I thought the family said it was a forgery
It wasn't, the Will was approved by three different courts and no one was able to provide any other Will. MJ is taking care of his mother and children, which seems like what most people do and what he was doing when he was alive.

It was a simple question please stop trying to police comments.
It was an unnecessary question, meant to throw shade on Howard Weitzman, when a quick google search would have set you straight with regard to the Will. Expecting to see common decency and respect in an R.I.P. thread is not policing comments.

Stop trying to start something on here you can’t finish.

MJ > Quincy

For all time.
And that’s a fact Jack.

Bless you Howard for staying true and loyal to the true musical genius of our time: Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson, and for putting jealous haters like Quincy Jones in their place both legally and financially.

RIP Howard and Thank You.

Amen
