Lawrence Hartman

Columbia Law graduate. Wall Street attorney. Off-Broadway producer. Offshore hedge fund founder. Federal fugitive.

Few writers have lived a story worth this much telling. Lawrence Hartman's life has taken him from the hallowed lecture halls of Columbia Law School to the world's most wanted lists — and from a federal prison cell back toward redemption. What he found along the way became several unflinching books, a body of work that only someone who has truly seen the inside of America's legal and financial machinery could write.

Hartman grew up in the suburbs of New York City, earned an ivy league law degree, and quickly distinguished himself on Wall Street. Not content with the billable hour, he also wrote and produced an off-Broadway play, "Seeing Double," starring New York Giants legend Tiki Barber and the Double Down Twins from the cult indie classic Swingers. It was the kind of life most people only dream about.

Vice President and General Counsel of a publicly traded real estate company and then founding an offshore hedge fund. He started over a dozen public companies. He was building an empire. Then came the 36-count federal indictment — and a week of wall-to-wall coverage as the lead news story across Central America.

During a 10-year sentence, Hartman refused to go quiet. He became a Shawshank Redemption jailhouse lawyer — helping dozens of inmates navigate a system rigged against them — while channeling his intellect and hard-won perspective into writing. What emerged? A collection of foundational books that are by turns explosive, instructive, and deeply human. Forbes took notice, featuring him in pieces on the unglamorous reality of life as a white-collar fugitive and his candid insights into drug addiction and reform.
