Biography
Joseph Tacopina (born April 14, 1966) is an American lawyer, media personality and professional sports executive. He is a personal attorney for former U.S. president Donald Trump, representing him in New York regarding the criminal investigation of several payments made to Stormy Daniels.
He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York to Italian immigrants. Raised in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, Tacopina attended Poly Prep and Skidmore College, before graduating, in 1991, from the University of Bridgeport law school, now Quinnipiac University School of Law.
Tacopina is a name partner and lead trial attorney at his Manhattan based law firm, Tacopina, Seigel & DeOreo.
He began his career as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, where he won 39 of 40 trials he led. After moving to private practice, he became known as an advocate for high-profile clients in high-profile cases. Tacopina clients have included New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, Joran van der Sloot, who was the suspect in the mysterious disappearance of Natalee Holloway, an American high schooler in Aruba, Melanie McGuire, Michael Jackson, Italian sailor Chico Forti, actor Lillo Brancato, Fox News host Sean Hannity, New York state senator Hiram Monserrate, and Kimberly Guilfoyle. He has also represented NFL team Washington Commanders and team owner Daniel Snyder.
He was instrumental in helping to vindicate client Meek Mill. Mill’s case sparked a national debate on criminal justice reform. Jay-Z, another Tacopina client, voiced his thoughts on the unjust system that seemingly targets minorities by keeping them in legal limbo.
Tacopina was the lead trial attorney in 2019 representing Nauman Hussain, who was charged with criminally negligent homicide in the previous year’s Schoharie limousine crash.
Tacopina began representing former U.S. president Donald Trump in early 2023.
