Joe Tacopina said Cohen was 'trying to find a way to make a dollar' after the former Trump attorney called his successor a 'disgrace to the profession of law.'
When asked to comment on Cohen's remarks, Tacopina responded:"As to being critiqued as a lawyer by Cohen, a disbarred felon who was convicted of being a liar and did a federal prison term, I can only laugh. He is the biggest laughing stock the bar has ever seen.
"Not to mention I will put my track record up against his any day," he continued."While I have actually won some of the most high-profile cases in the country, Cohen, before he became a disbarred felon, never saw the inside of a courtroom. His existence was based on going on television to tell everyone how amazing Donald Trump was. Now his existence is trying to find a way to make a dollar and get is name in the newspaper.
