Brian Rohan, who was known as San Francisco's “dope lawyer” for 1960s counterculture clients like the Grateful Dead and Ken Kesey, has died, according to a newspaper report Sunday.
He was 84. Rohan's daughter, Kathleen Jolson, told the San Francisco Chronicle that her father died Tuesday at his home in the Bay Area city of Larkspur after a six-year battle with cancer.
He met his first high-profile client in 1965 in Ken Kesey, famous for his novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
