Rudy Giuliani, former New York mayor, mob prosecutor, and Donald Trump supporter, has had his law license revoked, his bankruptcy case dismissed, and is facing potential jail time. 

However, his lawyer claims he is still relishing his celebrity status in the city.

“I have to say, I don’t know how he does it, but he keeps his chin up,” says Arthur Aidala,
Giuliani is being represented by a high-profile attorney who is handling three separate legal cases for the disgraced "America's Mayor."

“He obviously recognizes what has taken place, but when I speak to him he’s energetic,” says Aidala, whose clients also include Harvey Weinstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to Aidala, Giuliani remains popular in the court of public opinion in New York City.

“Especially on the Upper East Side,” he added. “We went to dinner at Arturo’s [on York Avenue], and once that first table came over… ‘Can we take a picture of with you?’ There was a line.”

Said Aidala, “People still did not forget [his time as mayor], people appreciate him more than ever,” adding that the recognition “keeps his spirits high.”

Aidala mentioned that Rudy, now 80, maintains a close relationship with his son, Andrew.

“He’s got a life, but it’s definitely not the life it could’ve been and should’ve been,” he says of Rudy.

After Giuliani was recently disbarred in NYC and Washington, DC, “He lost ability to make a living,” Aidala said. “It’s such a fall from grace for someone who did so much for this city, he took the mob down.”

The host of the popular "Arthur Aidala Power Hour" on AM 970 The Answer states that he is representing Giuliani pro bono., as “It’s no secret Mayor Giuliani has no funds… he’s doing the best he can because he’s in a bad predicament.”

Giuliani was fired from his position as a radio show host on WABC in May.
