Mr. Avenatti has tried to secure private counsel over the course of the past month but has been unsuccessful due in large part to the government's forfeiture counts,” according to the Public Defender's motion, which says Avenatti also fears that federal prosecutors in New York and California will use “his statements against him” in both cases.
Avenatti “agrees that he should contribute to his representation but requests that the court defer determination of the exact amount of contribution until the end of the case,” the motion says. “By that time he will have greater certainty regarding the status of his New York case and representation.”
