'Law daddy': Gwyneth Paltrow's lawyer James Egan fame mirrors that of Camille Vasquez
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Gwyneth Paltrow won the case against Terry Sanderson in the 2016 ski case. The retired optometrist claimed that he was left with lasting brain damage following the crash at a Utah ski resort, which he claimed was caused by the actress; Sanderson was to pay a symbolic $1 in damages and legal fees. However, it was not only Paltrow who turned out to be the star of the day, but it was James Ergan, her lawyer as well.
Ergan would now have a similar story to Camille Vasquez, who defended Johnny Depp in the iconic Amber Heard-Johnny Depp case. Both lawyers rose to fame as they defended celebrities in their cases. Vasquez became a worldwide sensation soon after she appeared for the trial with her stern and sharp legal style.

How are John Ergan and Camille Vasquez similar?
Ergan and Vasquez were hailed for their unique style and also for winning the most famous celebrity cases. During the trial, Vasquez became a sensation for how she questioned Amber in a row, which made the actress nervous and baffled. Videos with the hashtag #CamilleVasquez have gathered millions of views in a couple of days after the trial. Currently, Egan, who defended Paltrow, is becoming popular as a "Law Daddy." The lawyer is even compared to Clark Kent for his facial similarities. After the trial, he said, “I’m going to see my 1-year-old son. He had his birthday during the trial, and I haven’t seen him. He just learned to walk. Egan, who was termed 'Clark Kent' during the trial, said, “I’ve heard that; it’s weird," as per Extra TV.
Vasquez graduated in 2006 from the University of Southern California, and in 2010 she graduated from Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. She has been working at Brown Rudnick, which is a high-profile law firm represented by Johnny Depp. Egan first worked for the firm as a law student before graduating from Clark Law School in 2014. "He received bachelor’s degrees in English and Political Science from the University of Utah, where his thesis in literature received the “best thesis” award from the Honors College. At graduation, the College of Humanities selected him to speak at its convocation and honored him as the “exemplary student” of his graduating class," as per EOLAW office.
How did the Internet celebrate their win?
The Internet had interesting reactions when Vasquez became a sensation. People even wanted her to date the actor. A user back then said, "He's a gentlemen 100% to everyone he meets in both high and low places. How can you not fall in love w/ JD. Likable by everyone even AH admits it so this case goes against logic." Another said, "I wish !!! She's beautiful and smart ! So much class. Love her." Another claimed, "I think we can all agree that Camille Vasquez won the day today. She was on top of every word that came out of AH's mouth. I can't wait to see her rake that woman across the coals. What an absolute . I would definitely want her on my side. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp #DeppvHeard." A comment read, "She's perfect for the cross. AH is obsessed with JD even now. Camille has had his attention and he won't even glance at AH. AH believes she's the alpha female in any room. Camille is pretty and successful in her own right and has been directly challenging her. She may well snap." "Round of applause for Camille Vasquez, keep smashing it," wrote a user.
