Judge Orders Giuliani to Pay $1.36 Million in Unpaid Legal Fees

The ruling cites checks that referenced file and invoice numbers, undermining his denials.

Overview

  • New York County Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron granted summary judgment to Davidoff Hutcher & Citron for work performed from November 2019 through July 2023.
  • The order requires payment of $1.36 million plus interest accruing since October 2023, with additional costs for pursuing the fee case.
  • The firm said Giuliani paid $214,000 toward about $1.57 million billed, including an initial $194,000 payment and a later $20,000.
  • The billed work covered investigations into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Ukraine-related activities, and the Jan. 6 congressional inquiry.
  • A Giuliani spokesperson said he will appeal, as he also contends with disbarments, major defamation liabilities, criminal cases in Georgia and Arizona, and a Dominion defamation lawsuit.
