New York attorney Stacey Richman has emerged as a hip-hop heroine for representation of rappers in legal trouble, according to a leading music-industry magazine. XXL, which profiled her in a recent issue, reports that Stacey has represented Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Ja Rule, Kid Cudi and Freekey Zekey while working for her father 
Murray’s firm. “It’s great that there are celebrities and hip-hop personalities that have faith in me,” Stacey told the magazine. “I don’t consider myself a celebrity lawyer; I don’t consider myself a hip-hop lawyer. I’d like to be considered an excellent lawyer.” Scott Serels, a urologist at Norwalk (Conn.) Hospital, is an international expert in treating bladder control problems.
