Who is Cain Velasquez's lawyer?

Cain Velasquez's lawyer is Mark Geragos. The 65-year-old attorney from Los Angeles is a well-renowned American criminal defense lawyer who has represented several high-profile clients, including Winona Ryder, Michael Jackson, Chris Brown and Colin Kaepernick. He is the managing partner of the litigation firm, Geragos and Geragos.

Geragos is currently representing the former UFC heavyweight champion in a case involving Cain Velasquez and alleged child molester Harry Goularte. Velasquez was charged over an incident that took place on February 28.

He allegedly shot at Harry Goularte, a man who was previously arrested on charges of sexual assault on a minor but was let off on a personal recognizance bond.

Mark Geragos at Cain Velasquez's plea hearing, earlier in June:

Velasquez is said to have chased Goularte in his truck and proceeded to ram his vehicle into the suspected child molester's vehicle, which had his stepfather and mother aboard, before opening fire. The shot missed Goularte but hit his stepfather, although the injuries sustained were non-fatal.

Following the incident, Velasquez was booked on multiple charges, including one count of attempted first-degree murder and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon. The former heavyweight champion was incarcerated for eight months and denied bail twice over multiple court hearings. However, on November 8, Velasquez was granted a $1 million bail.

Earlier this year in June, Velasquez, on behalf of his son, filed a civil lawsuit against Harry Goularte with charges of sexual molestation. Goularte's stepfather and mother were involved in the lawsuit as they operated the child care center where the alleged incident took place.
