The prominent New York divorce attorney died last October 19 from pneumonia. His dying wish was to ban partners from his funeral.
Sheresky’s client list included Peter Cook and the exes of James Gandolfini, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall.
His former partners David Aronson and Allan Mayefsky were informed that they were not welcome at the funeral, following a dramatic falling out with them that forced him to leave the firm in 2010. Once he was forced out, he joied with Pamela M. Sloan to establish the law firm Aronson Mayefsky and Sloan, which represented clients such as Katie Holmes.
Norman Sheresky got his revenge from the grave. He had wife play a video titled “Norman’s Reflections on his 80th Birthday”. It showcased Sheresky being endorsed by many of his peers, including top divorce attorneys Robert S. Cohen, William Herman, Bernard Post, Raoul Felder and Jeffrey R. Cohen.
In the ultimate revenge from beyond the grave, Sheresky was able to leave his former law partners with egg on their faces – a delicious revenge fom the grave!
