California Bar: Michael Avenatti Stole From Client Using ‘Deceit, Dishonesty And Lies’
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA/AP) — The California State Bar wants attorney Michael Avenatti placed on involuntary inactive status because they say he poses a threat to clients and the public if he continues doing legal work.
Avenatti, who formerly represented porn star Stormy Daniels when she sued President Donald Trump, pocketed a client’s settlement and covered his tracks through “deceit, dishonesty, and lies,” attorney Eli Morgenstern said.
