Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer says embattled ex-mayor is ‘keeping his chin up’ amid ‘fall from grace,’ disbarment

Former New York mayor, mob prosecutor and Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani has lost his license to practice law, had his bankruptcy case dismissed, and is facing possible jail time — but his lawyer says he’s still enjoying being a celebrity in the city.

“I have to say, I don’t know how he does it, but he keeps his chin up,” says Arthur Aidala, the embattled Giuliani’s power attorney who’s representing the fallen “America’s Mayor” in three different legal cases.

“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.

Giuliani is still popular in the court of public opinion in NYC, Aidala relates.

“He still enjoys a lot of positive celebrity,” he tells Page Six. “We can’t go a block [in NYC] without someone saying, “Rudy! I wish you were the mayor again! I wish you were running the 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 said that Rudy, 80, is close 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 hit “The “Arthur Aidala Power Hour” on AM 970 The Answer says that he’s repping 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 canned from his job as a radio show host on WABC in May.

Giuliani — who served as mayor from 1994 until 2001 and was beloved for his response to 9/11 — is facing two criminal indictments for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election.

He filed for bankruptcy in December after being hit with a multi-million dollar judgement in a Georgia defamation case. (He’s being repped in the bankruptcy case by lawyer Gary Fischoff.)

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Aidala says of one of the criminal cases against Giuliani in Georgia that he’s trying to get tossed, “That one’s scary because if you lose that case… it’s a mandatory minimum of five years in prison. Of course that’s a lot of pressure.”
