Twenty years. A billion dollars in results. A fall from grace. And the hard truths learned along the way.
For more than two decades, Michael Avenatti was one of the most feared and effective trial lawyers in the United States. He tried and won cases in state and federal courts across the country — obtaining over one billion dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients, including a landmark $454 million jury verdict in 2017.
His courtroom record was matched by an extraordinary ability to communicate — to take the most complex facts and arguments and make them land with clarity, conviction, and force. That skill brought him before the American public in a way few lawyers ever experience. Featured on 60 Minutes three times in five years, he became one of the most recognizable legal voices in the country.
In 2018, he took on the representation that would define — and ultimately upend — his career: Stormy Daniels against the President of the United States. Hundreds of live television interviews and national prominence followed. At the 2018 Iowa Democratic Wing Ding — a traditional proving ground for presidential candidates — Avenatti’s appearance generated comparisons from veteran Iowa operatives to Barack Obama’s first visit to the state in 2006.The Guardian, Aug. 11, 2018: “Michael Avenatti says Democrats must ‘fight fire with fire’ as he eyes presidential run”
In September 2018, Steve Bannon — the architect of Donald Trump’s political rise — publicly assessed Avenatti as the single greatest threat to President Trump’s reelection, saying he could go through the Democratic field with a fearlessness that no professional politician had matched.Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO), September 28, 2018
Michael Avenatti is currently focused on rebuilding his life, with an emphasis on his family and the people who have stuck by him. And he has a lot of making-up to do.
Michael is actively pursuing new professional opportunities, drawing on two decades of experience at the highest levels of law and public life. The skills that made him one of the most formidable trial lawyers and communicators of his generation have not diminished. They have only been sharpened by his journey. “It’s not a question of when or if you’ll fall, it’s how you get up. The story isn’t over.”
