Lawyer Power
“Among trial lawyers, Avenatti is regarded as extraordinarily tenacious and aggressive,” said Brian Kabateck. Kabateck , the incoming president of the Los Angeles Bar Association felt Avanetti was truly a threat.
“He may be the perfect foil for Trump,” he said, “because he understands Trump and is in Trump’s head.”
Another person Louise Sunshine said “I think he’s sort of got Donald figured out.”
Avanetti once raced cars and compared that to being a lawyer.
“Once you’ve driven 190 miles per hour in the pouring rain, in the middle of the night, down the Mulsanne Straight with prototype cars whizzing by you at 240-plus miles per hour … compared to that, what I’m doing right now is a warm-up lap,” he said.
David Nold compared Avanetti to Trump. “They sure seem to have a very similar business style,” he said. “Unpaid bills. Taxes owed. Bombastic to a fault when it comes to the facts.”
He replied “any claim that problems arose as a result of anything I did or did not do personally is ridiculous and baseless,” he wrote. He said Nold was “an embarrassment to the legal profession.”
It seemed this was a man who shouldn’t be crossed; however Trump was unlike any President before him. We may just have a match up on our hands.
