According to law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron, Giuliani paid just $214,000 (€200,000) of the total bill of more than $1.5 million (€1.4 million). The law firm helped Giuliani from 2019 to July of this year, including lawsuits over presidential election interference in Georgia and Washington, D.C. Giuliani reportedly still owes them $1,360,196 (€1.27 million) and for this reason They are now being tried before the New York Supreme Court. According to the indictment, the last payment made by Giuliani to the company was made four days ago and amounted to 10,000 dollars (9,350 euros).
For his part, Giuliani believes the bills are inflated. “I cannot express how personally hurt I am by what Bob Costello did,” Giuliani said in a statement, referring to one of Davidoff Hatcher & Citron’s partners, Robert Costello. He is an old Giuliani acquaintance and has been publicly involved in his defense strategy for some time. Costello also previously represented Steve Bannon. “It is a real shame that lawyers do things like this,” Giuliani said in a statement. “All I can say is that their settlements are not yet close to the legitimate fees, but they are much higher.”
The former New York mayor previously admitted in court that he is having difficulty paying legal fees, and they are expected to rise.
