Michael Avenatti’s law practice evicted from offices
Stormy Daniels’ embattled porn lawyer Michael Avenatti lost a last-ditch appeal Friday to block the eviction of his law practice from its California offices , according to a new report.
Avenatti — who was busted earlier this week in LA on domestic violence allegations — now needs to move out of his ocean-view suite in a Newport Beach office building after Orange County Superior Court Judge Robert J. Moss affirmed an October order that the attorney and his staff vacate the premises, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Avenatti’s longtime firm, Eagan Avenatti, had skipped four months of rent payments — totaling $213,254 — prompting the landlord, Irvine Co., to sue for eviction.
The landlord won the case last month, during a trial that Avenatti skipped, according to the report. Then, the local sheriff’s office posted a notice demanding that the firm vacate by early on Nov. 1.
He requested a reprieve, which granted him a delay until Friday’s hearing. But he didn’t show up to that one either, the paper reported.
Moss asked Mark Kompa, the landlord’s attorney, if he had heard from Avenatti — and he replied that the two had spoken on Tuesday.
Avenatti still considering run for president despite domestic violence arrest
“There were other events that transpired so I haven’t heard from him since then,” Kompa said, according to the report.
The next day, Avenatti was booked on a felony domestic violence charge. He was released later that evening after posting $50,000 bond and has vehemently denied the allegations.
When asked about the eviction order in an email, Avenatti told the LA Times, “It does not matter as Eagan Avenatti, my former firm, was already in the process of moving. A non-event.”
Late last month, Avenatti asked the court to stop the eviction — as Avenatti & Associates, another entity he owns, had an “oral rental agreement with the landlord,” according to the report.
The landlord, however, denied this.
The attorney told the paper that the two businesses are distinct firms, but function as the same law practice at the same office, with the same staff.
