Law firm of Stormy Daniels' attorney ordered to pay $10 million

[Dashinka 24,765]

Hmm,  Avenatti describes this as a sideshow, he is pretty well versed in sideshows.  Maybe he is doing this entire Stormy Daniels play so he can potentially pay off his debts.

 

A federal bankruptcy court judge in California has entered a $10 million judgment against a law firm of Michael Avenatti in a dispute with a former employee.

 

The order, from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Catherine Bauer, requires the law firm of Eagan Avenatti LLP, to pay $10 million to Jason Frank Law PLC.

Jason Frank is an attorney who worked for Eagan Avenatti from 2009 until 2016, according to court filings.

In a brief phone interview with ABC News, Avenatti -– who's representing adult-film star Stormy Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump and Michael Cohen –- described the bankruptcy case as "a sideshow that’s irrelevant."

He also missed payments to the IRS that he was supposed to send them last week. Supposedly he took out the taxes from his employees paychecks but never sent them on to the IRS.

Sounds like a real stand up guy, great lawyer and exceedingly well versed businessman.

I found the Dailymail article for you that I was looking for.

This Aventatti guy is a piece of work.  Either he is looking for some kind of big payday to cover his debts, or he and Stormy are playing around themselves.

A lawyer for former adult-film star Stephanie Clifford has frustrated efforts by federal prosecutors to obtain information about a hush-money deal involving President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, according to people familiar with the matter.

In public, Michael Avenatti, Ms. Clifford’s current attorney, has been among the most vocal critics of Michael Cohen, the lawyer who paid her $130,000 in October 2016 to sign a nondisclosure agreement about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Mr. Trump.

But behind the scenes, Mr. Avenatti has slowed prosecutors’ efforts to discuss the nondisclosure agreement with Ms. Clifford’s former lawyer, these people say. Mr. Avenatti also demanded to review documents investigators subpoenaed from Ms. Clifford’s former manager, they said.

Mr. Cohen is under criminal investigation for possible campaign-finance violations and bank fraud related to the payment to Ms. Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels, and other business dealings, according to other people familiar with the probe. He has denied wrongdoing and hasn’t been charged with any crime. Mr. Trump has denied having sex with Ms. Clifford.

Mr. Avenatti hasn’t yet acted on multiple requests from federal prosecutors in Manhattan for Ms. Clifford to waive the attorney-client privilege that prevents her former lawyer from discussing their communications about the nondisclosure deal, the people familiar with the matter said. In April, Mr. Avenatti, acting in his capacity as Ms. Clifford’s current lawyer, sent a cease-and-desist letter to her former lawyer, Keith Davidson, ordering him not to disclose any communications related to her, one of those people said.  Mr. Avenatti made similar demands of Ms. Clifford’s former manager, Gina Rodriguez, who helped engineer the hush-money deal. Mr. Avenatti tried to block Ms. Rodriguez from providing her communications with Ms. Clifford to federal prosecutors until he had reviewed them, other people familiar with the matter said.  Mr. Avenatti has told federal prosecutors he is trying to get Ms. Clifford to agree to waive her attorney-client privilege, but prosecutors have come to believe he is stringing them along, the people familiar with the matter said. The delays in responding to their requests to waive privilege aren’t seen as highly damaging to the probe but have frustrated investigators, they said.

Boy the left picks some real winners to ally with. A glorified prostitute and an ambulance chasing tax cheat scum bag.

[Keith & Arileidi 437]

Why are you so focused on the lawyer as opposed to the actual plaintiff?

 

That doesnt make any type of logical sense to me.

You mean focus on the glorified prostitute instead of the ambulance chasing tax cheat lawyer who is representing her who CNN has had on over 100 times? Okay.

I don't watch CNN.. 

But from my understanding they ussually follow the Plaintiff not the lawyer.

You should be arguing the legitimacy of her claim, the lawyer is irrelevant.

The plaintiff is a hooker who sold her body for money.  What’s so special about that?

Legitimacy?  She got paid for what she did.  I do the same thing every day.  Do my job, get a paycheck.  What, exactly, IS her claim?

If you read the article, it talked about her previous lawyer and business manager that actually orchestrated the settlement.  Clifford fired them and took up with Avenatti and re-opened this whole business?  You have to ask yourself why?  Typically the reason involves money, and this is looking more and more to be the case here.  I realize there are those that see this as a way to bring down Trump.  Keep dreaming.

So only the plaintiff matters?
