Tim Parlatore criticized Joe Tacopina, a former lawyer of Donald Trump, for withdrawing from two of Trump’s cases without explanation.
Parlatore claimed that Tacopina wasn’t suited for the job and had underperformed in the past, particularly during the E. Jean Carroll case.
He suggested that Tacopina prioritizes self-publicity over courtroom competence.
Parlatore also criticized Tacopina’s performance during the trial and expressed doubts about his legal abilities.
“He’s essentially been on the shelf ever since he screwed up the first Jean Carroll case,” Parlatore said.
“He’s very good at self-publicity, but not actually very good in the courtroom, and I think that that’s something that we all saw during the Jean Carroll case. It’s something that I warned them repeatedly – do not bring this guy in at all.”
“Here’s a guy that probably hasn’t tried a case in over 10 years coming in cold and barely cross-examining a witness,” Parlatore added.
“Look, it’s something that a lot of people in New York – certainly myself – have believed about him for a very long time, that he’s not a very competent lawyer, that he is somebody who’s more into publicizing his acumen than actually demonstrating it,” Parlatore said.
