A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, he was the top in his class at George Washington University Law School.

At Penn, Avenatti studied Political Science, becoming the first to earn a college degree in his family. Avenatti later received a J.D. from George Washington University Law School, where he graduated as the top student in his class in 1999.

He has spent time working at O’Melveny & Myers and Greene Broillet & Wheeler, where he fronted several high-profile cases. In 2007, Avenatti founded his own law firm Eagan Avenatti, LLP and has since secured notable verdicts, including a $454 million federal fraud case against Kimberly-Clark Corporation just last year.

3. Agree

4. Funny, but OMelveny & Myers was one of my clients about ten years ago.

The firm I worked for (doesn't exist today) was doing consulting work for the IT infrastructure on the new floor they were going to occupy.

Fair to say?

7. Representing Rielle Hunter

Or something along those lines.

8. I don't think you should hate a attorney for doing his job well.

If the attorney was lying or cheating, that would be different. But I don't see that Avenatti is doing that.
