Stormy Daniels blasts Trump's 'staggering' request for nearly $350,000 in legal fees
cnbc ^ | November 6, 2018 | Kevin Breuninger

Porn star Stormy Daniels asked a federal judge to drastically reduce President Donald Trump's demand for nearly $350,000 in attorney's fees in her recently dismissed defamation suit.

Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, argued that the $341,559.50 requested for an alleged 509.25 hours of attorney time is a "staggering and grossly inflated sum."

The proper figure is closer to $25,000, Avenatti said in the court filing Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

This part from “Casino” applies to Trump in a fight of whatever kind...Political, legal, war of words, etc.

No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on. You beat Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat. You beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun. And if you beat him with a gun, you better kill him, because he’ll keep comin’ back and back until one of you is dead.

He doesn’t shy away from a fight.

I predict she’ll open a Go Fund Me page or one of Soros’ third-party groups will pay her.

Well, she wouldn’t have a book to sell without her attacks upon the president. He should get part of the money. He deserves his cut from all book sales.

Avenatti thinks Trump’s lawyers work for under $50 an hour? He (Avenatti) is even crazier (or more desperate?) than we thought!

OTOH, $670.71 an hour is gettin’ up there.

Maybe Trump should ask for “emotional damages”. Hahaha!

A run of the mill estate lawyer is around $250 an hour. Criminal or business on up there around $500, and that is the economical ones.

Laughable. Lawyers like Trump's likely bill at $1000/hr or more. For $25K they might fix a traffic ticket for you...

looks she’s going to have to ..uhh.. “entertain” a few hundred “clients” to come up with that scratch.

Where is her boy Avenatti?

$25,000 for 509 hours is about $49 an hour. No lawyer in this country works that cheaply. What a joke!
