Is Michael Cohen still a lawyer? Here's how Trump's former fixer now makes a living.

To Donald Trump, Michael Cohen was many things – a fixer, yes man, and ruthless advocate. But chief among his many hats was his role as the former president’s personal attorney.

Cohen is taking the stand for another day of testifying in the hush money criminal trial. He will face off against the former president’s team of lawyers, who will grill him under cross-examination. It remains to be seen if his experience as Trump’s former attorney will give him an advantage in the high-pressure situation.

Was Michael Cohen disbarred?

Cohen no longer practices law. He was disbarred after he pled guilty to multiple crimes in 2018, including lying to Congress.

A panel of New York state judges granted a request to strike Cohen’s name from the official list of attorneys in New York state in February 2019.

Cohen “ceased to be an attorney upon his federal conviction of making false statements to the United States Congress,” the panel said in its opinion. The move was retroactive, striking Cohen’s name from the list as of the date he pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, Nov. 29, 2018.

What does Michael Cohen do for work now?

During his first day on the stand, Cohen told jurors that his previous job as Trump’s personal lawyer entailed doing “whatever Trump wanted.”

Since getting out of federal prison in July 2020, Cohen released “Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump,” a sordid account of the 10 years Cohen spent “burying Trump’s skeletons.” It spent four weeks on the New York Times’ best-seller list, selling 290,000 print copies.

Cohen followed that up with “Revenge: How Donald Trump Weaponized the Department of Justice Against His Critics.” It topped the best-seller list for one week and sold 23,600 print copies.The former attorney also launched his “Mea Culpa” podcast, where twice a week he takes listeners “into the dark corners of our current American apocalypse.” It currently ranks #122 in Apple’s news podcasts.

In addition to his books and podcast, Cohen is a regular guest on cable television, using his appearances to bash his former boss.

What is Michael Cohen’s net worth?

Hating on Trump would be big business for Cohen if it weren’t for his many legal fees and run-ins with the IRS. Prior to his legal troubles, Cohen’s net worth was estimated to total over $100 million.

Now, it’s estimated that his net worth falls under $1 million.

Much of his initial wealth came from his ownership of over 200 New York City taxi medallions. Prior to ride-sharing apps, a single NYC taxi permit could easily sell for over $1 million.

In addition to his taxi fortune, Cohen made $525,000 per year as Trump’s personal attorney.

Cohen revealed during Monday’s testimony that he originally wanted to work on Wall Street, but his grandmother persuaded him to go to law school.
