Michael Avenatti’s law firm reportedly filed for bankruptcy protection Thursday, weeks after a former partner alleged "financial shenanigans" surrounding the bankruptcy proceedings.

The fresh bankruptcy filing came a day before Avenatti was scheduled to appear in a California federal courtroom to give testimony on the finances of his firm, Eagan Avenatti. A lawyer for Jason Frank, a former partner with the firm who last month charged that millions of dollars in legal fees had been hidden from creditors during the bankruptcy proceedings, planned to question Avenatti about the firm’s finances, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

By Louis Casiano | Fox News

Michael Avenatti agreed Wednesday to give up financial control of his law firm to settle a dispute with a former partner who claimed the celebrity lawyer hid millions in order to fund his lavish lifestyle and avoid having to pay a $10 million judgment.

Jason Frank, a former partner at Eagan Avenatti, accused Avenatti in a court filing of spending extravagantly: $13,000 in rent for his Los Angeles apartment; a $3,640 payment on his Ferrari; $150,000 for his coffee company; $53,600 on his ex-wife; and $232,875 for his auto racing team, The Los Angeles Times reported.
