Michael Avenatti is sued for allegedly siphoning paraplegic's $4 million settlement

(Reuters) - Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who represented porn star Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against U.S. President Donald Trump, has been sued by a paraplegic former client who accused him of siphoning away a $4 million settlement he had won.

Geoffrey Johnson is seeking at least $9.5 million, plus punitive damages, from Avenatti and several former colleagues in his civil lawsuit filed with the Orange County Superior Court in California.

“I never thought I would get victimized by my own attorney,” Johnson, who uses a wheelchair, said at a press conference on Thursday. “I wish he had just given me my money.”

Almost every (real) person that I know - liberals and conservatives and everyone in between - could tell, just by looking at him, that he was a turbo-charged douche rocket, the likes of which few of us had ever seen.
