Michele Hirschman - Who is Eliot Spitzer’s Attorney?






In all the buzz about Eliot Spitzer’s sex scandal (finding some of us waiting with bated breath for him to resign and let David Paterson, the soon-to-be-oh-please-Lord-please first African-American governor of New York rise to the top), I just heard on the news that Michele Hirschman would be Spitzer’s lawyer.



I can spell Michele Hirschman…

…but who is she, I wondered, once I finally figured out that her name’s not spelled Michelle nor Hirshman, but Michele Hirschman, so I went-a-Googling.

  • Here’s something about a bad fight Hirschman and Spitzer had…


  • A piece about Michele Hirschman joining Paul Weiss…


  • Here are all the Google News reports about Michele Hirschman…



    • And the above clickable pic that leads to a short piece about Spitzer crying and infers Michele Hirschman was there for the “Oprah” moment, but the question is, which one is she?

    Doesn’t this Spoiling for a Fight: The Rise of Eliot Spitzer just beg for a follow-up — let’s see who gets it to print first — titled “The Fall of Eliot Spitzer: The Emperor Club Has No Clothes”?
