Which approach do you prefer, the quiet, serious lawman or the grandstander who publicly exudes extreme confidence? If you were involved in a high-profile case, would you choose Robert Mueller as your lawyer or would you prefer Michael Avenatti?

(30,481 posts)I have never needed to have a legal battle fought in the public square. That seems to be Avenatti's niche.

(115,867 posts)I tend to prefer Mueller's low-profile style in general. I have to say, though, that Avenatti has been pretty effective in presenting his cases to the public. We'll see how he does where the rubber meets the road in a trial.

In truth, Mueller is the quintessential PROSECUTOR, so that does not always translate well to DEFENSE law.

(15,751 posts)Avenatti is competent, sharp and effective. At the other end of the scale, Rootie Ghouli is . . .
