About Brian Sun

Born 1954. Brian Sun is a lawyer.

Entertainment business law In Blix Street Records v. Gelbard, a licensing dispute between Blix Street Records and Eva Cassidy Partners, a business partnership that included the parents of Eva Cassidy, Sun represented Eva Cassidy Partners.

Sun was criminal counsel to Elie Samaha during an FBI investigation tied to his dispute with Intertainment, a German financier of movies produced under his company Franchise Pictures.

White collar criminal defense In the wake of the 1994 Orange County bankruptcy, several public officials faced criminal and civil charges including Steve E. Lewis, the then auditor-controller of the county, who was represented by Sun.

Sun represented Mike Carona, a former sheriff of Orange County, who was put on trial for conspiracy and mail fraud charges. The government's case relied on damning statements made by Carona while taped by a government informant. Sun portrayed the statements made on the tapes as false chest thumping and argued the government witnesses were white collar felons looking to escape punishment by testifying against Carona. The outcome was favorable to Carona who was acquitted of five of the six charges and convicted of the remaining charge of witness tampering. Carona called the acquittals an "absolute miracle."
