"Once upon a time, Marc Kasowitz and Eric Herschmann were partners at Kasowitz's eponymous firm. Now Herschmann is suing Kasowitz seeking "millions" in unpaid compensation and alleging a pattern of financial mismanagement. Then Donald Trump decided to enter politics and everything fell apart as these two decided to hitch their wagons to his sundowning star. Back in 2017, Trump sauntered into office convinced that his longtime real estate litigator could serve as his White House consigliere. It did not go well."
"Toward the end of Trump's first term, while the boss told Americans to consider injecting themselves with Lysol and horse dewormers, Eric Herschmann decided to take his turn in the Trump orbit. He showed up just in time to be with Trump on January 6 - oops - but embarked on a reasonably successful rehabilitation effort as someone out there kept telling the press amusing anecdotes about him bluntly clowning on the most decidedly clownish Trump lawyers."
"Most of America remembers Herschmann for his genuinely eloquent advice that Coup4Dummies lawyer John Eastman needed to "get a great f***ing criminal defense lawyer.""
Marc Kasowitz and Eric Herschmann once partnered at Kasowitz's firm and now face legal and financial fallout. Herschmann is suing Kasowitz for "millions" in unpaid compensation and alleges a pattern of financial mismanagement. Kasowitz allegedly overextended firm finances by promising lucrative compensation guarantees to lateral partners and offering heavily discounted services. Both lawyers aligned with Donald Trump, with Kasowitz's White House role collapsing amid ethics complaints and diplomatic blunders. Herschmann joined the Trump orbit late, was present on January 6, and gained public attention for bluntly advising John Eastman to "get a great f***ing criminal defense lawyer." Both are now barely remembered.
