Reputed Gambino soldier Michael Yannotti has a new lawyer.
Yannotti hired James Kousouros after federal Judge Shira Scheindlin disqualified Joseph Corozzo amid accusations that he’s the “house counsel” to the Gambino crime family.
Corozzo’s father, Joseph “Jo Jo” Corozzo, has been identified as a family consigliere. And his uncle, Nicky Corozzo, is a Gambino captain, according to the feds.
Scheindlin said the blood ties potentially compromised Corozzo’s ability to vigorously represent his client.
