.... Last week, multiple reports said Cohen was ditching his current legal team from the firm McDermott, Will, & Emery, which included attorneys Stephen Ryan, Joseph Evans, and Todd Harrison. The attorneys have not yet filed to US District Judge Kimba Wood a notice to withdraw from the case.
Some of the reports said the change made it likely that Cohen would cooperate with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, possibly even "flipping" on Trump and providing the government with damaging information on him.
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told Business Insider on Tuesday that Petrillo is "the kind of lawyer you would hire if you wanted to keep open the option of cooperation."
