Atty Slams Weinstein Victim Bid For Ch. 11 Fees As Front
Law360 (April 29, 2021, 8:30 PM EDT) The attorney for an alleged victim of convicted rapist and disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein ripped another accuser s request for $1.2 million in compensation and fees from The Weinstein Company s bankruptcy estate, arguing Thursday the second woman s lawyers were using her as a front in an effort to recover from a failed class-action settlement.
Thomas P. Giuffra of Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo & Plotkin LLP, representing Weinstein accuser Alexandra Canosa, argued that Louisette Geiss, another accuser and co-chair of the unsecured creditors committee in The Weinstein Company s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, was requesting compensation for services rendered to steer money to her attorneys.
