Giuliani Faces Lawsuit for Unpaid Legal Fees by Defense Lawyer

Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and Donald Trump's personal lawyer, is being sued by his own lawyer, Robert J. Costello, for over $1.3 million in unpaid legal fees. Costello, who had been leading Giuliani's defense against multiple legal challenges, filed the lawsuit on behalf of his firm. Giuliani owes nearly $3 million to various law firms, including Costello's. The unpaid fees primarily stem from Giuliani's work for Trump in the aftermath of the 2020 election. This lawsuit represents a significant blow to Giuliani, who is already facing criminal charges and potential disbarment.
