Avenatti may be a showy lawyer that seems to thrive on sleazy cases, but I haven’t yet seen any evidence the he’s anything less than a competent and skilled attorney.
He definitely seems to be in it for the fame - and while it’s certainly not a noble reason to get into the law, it also shows me that he’s not going to take on a super high profile case like this that doesn’t have teeth or would risk causing him professional embarrassment.
