Here is our Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino Tax Trial Short List:
– Originally Michael Sorrentino, 34, of Manalapan, N.J., was supposed to go on trial in federal court on March 2, 2015, but federal prosecutors announced today that U.S. District Court Judge Susan Wigenton and that the date was pushed back until Sept. 14, 2015.
– On Sept. 8 a new discovery was made that Sorrentino failed to pay his attorney, who was representing him against charges that they failed to pay all of the taxes due on $8.9 million in income they earned from promotional activities from 2010 through 2012.

– Unfortunately Sorrentino lost his attorney who was repping him since Richard J. Sapinski of the Newark law firm Sills, Cummis & Gross, was granted permission to withdraw from the case.
– Sapinski withdrew from the case because Sorentino didn’t pay for his services. He explained it like this, “to date, Mr. Sorrentino has not been able to meet the obligations of the fee agreement, and there is no reasonable expectation that he will be able to do so.” U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton granted his withdraw from the case.
Sapinski clarified his reasons by saying:
“Basically, in order for me to have continued, he had to make additional payments, and he didn’t and he’s unable to do so.”
– Since then, the trial is postponed so that Michael Sorrentino can get a new lawyer and the judge gave Sorentino until Wednesday Oct. 14 to address the situation, according to court documents.
