There is no evidence this is an official donation fund

He seems like a pretty good lawyer to me. A lot of non-answers. No speculation or sensationalism. He’s controlling the conversation rather than letting the reporters derail it. Any particular reason you think he’s bad?

Well, first off the murder charges are NY and this guy’s has only practiced in PA, so it’s a safe assumption he hasn’t passed the NY bar…

There’s other reasons, but the fact that this guy literally can only fight the extradition and gun charges.

I feel like it’s a safe bet that Luigi will need another lawyer

Yeah for sure they’ll bring on another lawyer that’s accredited in New York once needed, but that doesn’t mean this lawyer is a bad one.

With the money and resources the government is throwing at this, the five best Lawyers in Altoona wouldn’t be good enough.

Altoona’s metro area is 1/20th of Philly, and an even tinier percentage of Pittsburgh.

This guy is literally just a small town local lawyer.

The lawyers at his firm are: himself

He isn’t a defense attorney, he does worker comp and divorces too.

I’m not saying he’s terrible, it’s like grabbing the most middle of the road highschool basketball player and throwing him in a NBA Dunk contest and asking why people are saying he won’t perform well.

They’re not saying he’s a bad HS player, they’re saying he is completely out of his league.

He will 100% need a new lawyer, probably an entire team to be honest. And his public defender can help with that.
