Convicted attorney Michael Avenatti is expected to face years in federal prison when he is sentenced in a Santa Ana courtroom today.
Convicted attorney Michael Avenatti is expected to face years in federal prison when he is sentenced in a Santa Ana courtroom Monday.
Avenatti argued that the six years he is recommending should run concurrent with the punishment he is already serving for the New York cases. Prosecutors also said he was a "tax cheat," and cited his failure to pay payroll taxes after his firm acquired Tully's Coffee in bankruptcy and then obstructed the IRS when the agency attempted to collect the amount due.
The prosecutors also argue that his convictions in New York federal courts should also boost his punishment. Avenatti had to work full time to pay for his college education and was the first in his family to earn advanced degrees. He earned a law degree from George Washington University Law School, moved to California and passed the bar on his first try and settled in Newport Beach in 2000.
While in custody at Terminal Island, Avenatti has a "spotless disciplinary record, has been a model inmate, and currently has a security classification of minimum," Steward wrote.
