Daily Caller: Attorneys representing embattled Trump fixer Michael Cohen asked a federal court in New York to deny Michael Avenatti’s request to appear and represent Stormy Daniels in an ongoing dispute over the April 9 search of Cohen’s office.
Avenatti, who is not licensed to practice law in New York, is seeking the court’s permission to appear on Daniels’ behalf in the Cohen case. Cohen lawyers argued Friday the request should be denied.
“The ongoing inaccurate statements started the very day Mr. Avenatti announced at a press conference his representation of Ms. Clifford,” the filing reads. “Since then, he has made numerous claims against Mr. Cohen that lack accuracy and factual support. Mr. Avenatti appears to be primarily focused on smearing Mr. Cohen publicly in his efforts to further his own interest in garnering as much media attention as possible.”
Rule 3.6 of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct provides that attorneys should not make out of court statements which could prejudice a pending matter. Cohen’s lawyers say Avenatti has violated the rule by disseminating false information he may have obtained unlawfully about Cohen’s finances. Avenatti released intimate details of Cohen’s personal financial history early in May, though the data he disclosed compromised other individuals of the same name not related to the investigation. more here

An unethical lawyer, you don’t say. That guy don’t look right. His eyes are so close together he’s got to have a Cyclops in his family tree.
His dirty and unethical practices I would come back to bite him in the bottom,
so sad, too bad, looks like he was a real lawer after all.

Hey Avenatti, the 80’s called and they want their “INSTANT ASSHOLE, JUST ADD COCAINE” tee shirt back.
why bother? Avenatti doesn’t really want to go to trial … if that happened he would have to hire real lawyers to argue the case
… of which there is none
just a lot of media whoring by a whore ‘lawyer’ for a whore ‘client’
That Avenatti guy just looks like he needs his ass kick weekly for perspective.
He EMBEZZLED $5 million in escrowed employee taxes, work comp and SocSec withholdings, and other monies belonging to the IRS, SSA & various state tax authorities.
In his December 2017 bankruptcy filing he swore under oath he was worth only $400k.
Someone’s looking at some serious prison time. Avenatti is the dancing organ grinder monkey for whatever DNC/ Clinton middleman is keeping him in lunch and rent money while his smear campaign shtick grows stale.
Avenatti naturally plans to abandon Daniels, but the Dems may abandon Avenatti first.
Avenatti reminds me of the Joe Pesci character in CASINO.
Loudmouthed, brash, dumb enough to think he’s got tiger blood, too dumb to survive.
He’s got “shallow grave in the cornfield” written all over him.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ –
A whole lot of whoring going on there.
I guess there “Law Right”, and then there’s “Man Right”. When shit deteriorates Man Right is the law of the land. I don’t think assholes like him have prepared for that eventuality. I don’t see it’s avoidable.
Come on now….
Despite ALL the bad press and factual reports of his embezzling money, owing the IRS, and screwing over the people that trusted him he still retained his license to practice law.
In fact he is SOOO good as a lawyer that someone paid him $8,000,000 the day before he took on the hooker case so he must be good for something other than criminal conduct, right?
I mean at the very least he qualifies for public office as a democrat!
