New York’s Staten Island — In his defamation lawsuit against two Georgia election workers, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is enlisting the help of a Staten Island attorney.
The New York Times reports that Joseph M. Cammarata of Cammarata & De Meyer P.C. is the newest member of Giuliani’s legal team.
According to the website of his legal practice, Cammarata is a graduate of Hofstra University’s School of Law and the now-closed St. John’s University Staten Island campus. He is also described as an experienced litigator and trial lawyer on the website.
He also manages divorce cases.
According to the website, Cammarata successfully represented his clients in intricate civil, criminal, and business disputes in the State Courts of New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Additionally, he has won cases in several Federal Courts in New Jersey and New York.
In support of Giuliani, Cammarata walked to the streets of Midtown Manhattan yesterday, claiming that the $148 million verdict against Mayor Rudy Giuliani is outrageous, unconstitutional, and un-American, according to the Times.
He added that judges have the authority to lower verdicts and judgments; this occurs daily.
Cammarata’s reference to $148 million is the sum of money that a judge ordered Giuliani to pay after the former mayor was found guilty of defaming Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman last year.
He filed an appeal, but the case is still pending a verdict. According to the Times, he has missed multiple deadlines to turn up his property in order to pay Freeman and Moss, totaling close to $11 million, while the appeal is being processed.
On the same day that attorneys for the two former poll workers tried to have Mr. Giuliani convicted in contempt of court, Cammarata made his remarks.
According to the Times, Giuliani may be subject to severe consequences, including jail time, if he fails to carry out his responsibilities. If a federal judge in Washington, D.C., finds him in contempt for continuing to disparage the two ladies, he may be subject to additional sanctions.
