John Gotti's 'Adopted Boy' Lewis Kasman Sues His Divorce Attorney

Kasman.jpg
Gotti's boy: Lewis Kasman
​Lewis Kasman, the "adopted son" of crime boss John Gotti who perjured himself while standing by Gotti but later squealed on the Gottis, is now suing his divorce attorney down in Florida.

Kasman told Broward-Palm Beach New Times reporter Bob Norman, "The lawyers are the best extortionists of all. They beat the Mafia any day of the week, especially in Florida."

Norman tells a pretty steamy tale:

The most explosive charge contained in the lawsuit filed on Kasman's behalf by Coral Springs attorney Nicholas Steffens is that Roderman was involved in an "inappropriate personal relationship" with the opposing counsel in the divorce, Carol Kartagener, of the Weiss Handler law firm in Palm Beach County.

"Plaintiff Kasman saw Defendant Roderman taking part in a compromising physical embrace with Kartagener in the parking lot of the South County Courthouse in Delray Beach, Florida," Steffens wrote in the lawsuit.

Kasman has a more direct way of putting it. "I was walking out in the parking lot after a court hearing when I saw them together and he had his tongue down her mouth," he says.

One divorce attorney's tongue down the mouth of another divorce attorney: Now there's an image that could spoil the start to one's weekend.

For those of you interested in John Gotti, I just saw a really great movie about John Gotti's early years in the New York Mafia titled "At the Sinatra Club".  The film was written by legendary author Salvatore Polisi, who besides being the former right hand man of John Gotti, was also one of the first crime family members to defect from the Mafia and turn State's evidence against John Gotti and the Mafia.  I got the film at Redbox last night after my co-worker told me he really enjoyed watching it, and I have to say I would absolutely recommend it!  If you would like to see the trailer, here is the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Divorce cases represent some of the most legally complex and emotionally challenging of all legal proceedings. Finding yourself facing the prospect of a divorce case, seriously consider retaining the services of an experience and qualified divorce court attorney.The primary functions of a divorce court attorney include protecting your rights in marriage dissolution proceedings. This includes advancing your interests in regard to the division of assets and debts as well as the custody, visitation and support of your children.Virginia Divorce Lawyers

Hahahahaha Remember me sitting in the back of your sentencing? Remember the three reporters sitting right across from you? Remember the government prosecutors praising you to the Judge how you've been a RAT since 1996? Remember them saying you originally went to them in 95? Hahahahahahaha or maybe they were all lying too? Ta Ta Judas enjoyyyyyyyyyyy the movieeeeee!! hahahahahahaa

Truth Judas? You were at the crypt? Haha I was ever in danger of losing my house? haha You weren't a rat in 96? hahaha Got the answer I wanted Judas, you can be sued even though your a rat. Remember I got the rich hubby now and I'll be seeing your loser slug a@@ in court. I saved EVERYTHING! I'm the Gotti that EVERYBODY liked remember that Judas? You have zero credibility, you are a joke. Your a desperado. Going on Sliwa's show just showed the five people that were listening what a desperado lying loser you really are. Imagine how much I love and adore and worship my Dad and how much my family adore him still and look at you what a disgraced pig you are to your three girls. Rot with your IBS slug.

I was impressed with Kasman on the Sliwa show.... VERY IMPRESSED! One would think your anger should be addressed to Jeffrey Lichtman who abused John A., and Victoria (Butch) demanding MONEY on a daily basis - and threatning to quit. Remember it was Lichtman who was employed by Gerald Shargel, Esq., and Lichtman who was "romancing" many of Mr. Shargel's clients - BEHIND Mr. Shargel's back! Including the Gotti clan! Lichtman is FULL of himself --- NOT a humble bone in his body.... This Angel is obsessesd with Kasman -- DNA - Don't go there...... Sweet Angel..... Life goes on, put the past behind you, go to church and pray for forgiveness. Assuming your allowed in....

Jeffrey lichtman is a pig professionally and personally. He tells his mistresses that he is divorced but infact is not.

Really? Well Kasman told his wife he was straight when in fact he is not. Move on nobody cares.

Kasman and Angel, the two of you should knock it off. Angel, be happy that your bro is not in jail and Kasman be happy you're not in jail too. As a fan of Lichtman on the radio, Mr. Kasman you should really stifle yourself. He's the most humble guy, the funniest guy and is a great lawyer who's in the papers every week. And not for scummy stuff like you but for winning cases left and right. Let this go, especially since he said you were his friend and you wore a wire on him. What did he do to you to deserve that? If anyone should be pissed its him. He's not a criminal and yet you and the FBI tried to get him. Very ugly reflection on our government.

I'm done with this slug. Years of penned up frustration and anger toward this slug finally out. He heard and read every word of what I felt toward him for what he did to Sr. I only wish he will die a slow and painful death as bad as Sr.

You stole your kids future, you robbed your own kids, can't get lower than you have gone. Enough said. Heard that Levin will be on with Lichtman this week, hahahaha I'll be listening and calling in again, how about you Judas? Ask Eileen if she can lend you a pair of balls. Hahahahahaha

Mr. Kasman was quite controlled and very professional. Yet Mr. Lichtman seemed out of control and angry. Seemed Kasman touched a "nerve" -- Mr. Lichtman needs to HUMBLE himself..... Kasman should write a "TELL ALL" book -- def would be MOST interesting.

These Gotti people need to get a life. It's OVER and DONE...... They had there day.....

After years and years of your "adopted son" bullsh**t (all the while sticking the knife in "daddy's" back) now it's called "blind allegiance?" You go on Sliwa's show of all places (the guy who called your "Daddy" everything under the sun including "The biggest drug dealer in America") you talked to that slug with respect????? You want to call my brother John names and lie about his loyalty to my father? YOU question my brother's loyalty? You rat on my father since 96, helped him die like a dog, steal his money, try to put his son in jail, lie about his wife and kids then go on SLIWA's show?? Your a slug nothing but a dirty dirty slug.

Kasman is not in the same ball park intellectually as Lictman and Levin so he best"back up " they will slap him with enough lawsuits to keep him in court for the next 20 years, then the Gottis will pick up where "they leave off rah, rah, rah !

Rusty, tis "you" who needs to get on with "whatever "pathetic semi existence your living in . "you have much to hide in your "closets about "male lovers" and the treachery in "your life, as for d.n.a .thank God not one of those poor kids of Eileens looks like "you", so honey me thinks its "you"who needs to worry about d.n.a tests. Eileens new guy is all male from "what is heard via the grape vine "Good luck to her, at least she doesn,t need to worry about finding a thong under "his trousers,"Good luck on the "tell all and the lawsuit that is sure to follow !

Actually I listened to the show and Lichtman was hilarious. He said Kasman was living in his mother's basement when not in the closet. It was really funny. He's a great lawyer and a great radio host. Kasman should go on the show, I think Jeff would grind him into dog food.

Angel

About your "TELL ALL" your going to need PROOF of the lies you put in that! We have PROOF of how much MY father LOVED his SON John A. Gotti!!!!!!! I hope your tongue gets that cancer that ravaged MY father's body! You remember I told you that my brother would be home again. That power of positive thinking and prayer and John Sr. is more powerful than any evil treacherous government rat!!! Have fun in hell Judas!

Angelg

Listen to me Judas, I'm waiting on a reply from a lawyer about how to go about suing you. I got a copy of your guest spot on Sliwa's show. First your nothing but a lying sack of dog sh**, at no time ever in my life did I have to go out and get a job because I was losing my house and John wouldn't help me, you were also NEVER at MY father's crypt, you also NEVER had a Sunday family dinner with us EVER! You did nothing but cry how horrible your life was while young and married. You wouldn't know a Gotti Sunday family dinner if it hit you in the face! You and your ex wife played a game on some blog where someone used my name angelg back in Feb09, THAT was NOT me! I found it yesterday and my lawyer is going to look into that Jose Lambiet's page. You thought you were talking to me and you were answering me with "Get a DNA test done" I only answered you on NY Daily news and NY Post and on here. I NEVER went on that blog and never used the words faggot or gay ever! I called you fairy canary many times but not those words. You and your ex wife are two sickos!! I sat in that court room and heard with my own ears from the government that you were a C.I. since 1996, tried in 95 but you chickened out. You lied right on Sliwa's show about that saying the media made it up? What book could you possibly right? Who in their right mind would believe a word you say? I sent a copy of that Sliwa show to capeci today to show him what a lying dog you really are. You hated my brother with a passion ok, but to do what you did to my father, I'll never forgive you and I'll be fighting you until the day either one of us dies. YOU helped kill that man! That man was a GOOD man you Judas dog!! I hate no other human being in this world and never wished death on another human being not even sammy but you, for what you did to my father, I hope you die and rot in hell! Now grow up take your xanax and leave me and my family alone you dog! One more thing and you listen good to this, MY FATHER WAS MY FATHER, if there was blood there or not he was MY father, I adored him and vice versa so you stick your "who's your daddy" garbage up your jealous envious evil JUDAS a@@!

Angel
Angel

Wow Judas, that's the best you got? I'd rather be 500 lbs than be you and have to hide and squirm for the rest of your miserable life. Your excuse for being a Judas stoolie was the big bad Gambino boys were picking on you after your "Daddy" died but we know that was another lie because "Daddy" was alive and well in 1995. IMy only wish for you was that you would rot in hell and from what I saw in court, you are. Tata Judas.

A bitter Angel ---- Bitter Bitter..... Try Travolta - You had ALL of Howard Beach. Kardashian for Albanese - They resemble each other!!! How can anyone do a movie about a "Father and Son"?? When the alleged Son knew nothing about the father, NOTHING! More made up pathological stores by the Gotti clan.... Of course that father knew NOTHING about his so called "loyal" son. A movie called the "MONEY HUNGRY GOTTI'S" ------ Thats a rap!

"Borrowed" $277,000.00 from your kids college funds and never paid back a penny and you want people to believe that the Gotti men are "money hungry?" Your a cowardly weasel who has to hide every day of his life and lie, cheat and steal. Now your trying to shake down the lawyers and Judges? Won't get in the ring with Levin? You couldn't last two minutes in the ring with a stuffed teddy bear. Pathetic poor Judas making a fool of yourself yet once again. Pay your kids back Judas before making comments about anyone else. Tata girly girl.

Nice try Judas, everyone knows John A. was in prison and YOU were holding all the loot. That story worked on your buddies at the FBI but NO ONE else. I assume you are sticking by your "I didn't take my kids money either" story? Buzz off Judas. You also know he's not John Jr. the man you helped to an early grave was John Jr. remember him? "Adopted son" hahahahahahaha Karma karma karma. Enjoy the movie!!

Loyal son exactly! He is and will always be John Joseph Gotti's LOYAL SON. He had THREE sons and all three were and always will be LOYAL to their father. Now you Judas weren't loyal to him, you KILLED him along with your buddies at the FBI and BOP. Your sick with envy and hatred for his sons and that you need to get help with. He wasn't your father you killed him and for that you will rot in hell all the days of your miserable life. Couldn't have a better ending for you Judas. You and your buddy sammy karma Judas, karma.

I think it was JR GOTTI that kept Dear ole Dad in Marion - locked down - Was it JR that was bringing all those MESSAGES into POPPY....??? With his devoted Uncle Pete ---- Riling a sick man up - While he had cancer..... All while JR and his Uncle Pete were stealing all the money. LOOK at the tapes, see what you see. STOP blaming others for you sins and lies.... Kasman never visited dear ole Dad while he was in Marion or Springfield. It was only his "devoted" Family...... Mainly his "SON" and brother.... "DEVOTED" to money! Nothing else....

Your long drawn out ridiculous eulogy was a LIE, you cheated the FBI, got your cooperation agreement ripped up how many times?

Judas kept his "Daddy" in Marion, NO one else! No messages were ever recorded only word from your lying fat mouth. It was so nice to see you squirm the way you did. I can die now happy, I'll never forget how good it was to see you squirm and cry to anyone that would listen "Angel Gotti is here, Angel Gotti is here" and then watching your FBI buddies ask you' So what are you worried about?" Hahahahahazhahahaha The moment was priceless! Squirm worm squirm. lol lol lol lol

It was Lewis Kasman who alerted the FEDS about a DEATH threat on Crime Reporter Jerry Capeci - Also a Federal Warden - What about aiding the FEDS in certain security matters regarding a Brooklyn Federal Judge.....

Of course John A. Gotti (JR) left the MOB! Do you believe in "Santa Claus"?

I Lean

Wow according to Capeci's column this week it seems it's Kasman who never left the mob. Threatening and extorting lawyers is against the law. DA's office is investigating. Some people get a new chance at life (Kasman got five) and just go back to their old crooked ways.

Angel

Judas FOUR juries believe Jr. left that life! How could he not? all the boys "Daddy" believed in were all really little girls in dresses you especially, you were playing in the closet with other little boys. lol lol lol

Lewis Kasman (weasel) is as "crooked as a summer day is long ,this :rat is "still beating the system , he lives with the "cow he long called a "ho" on food stamps ? like hell!, crooked weasel is on the internet every day checking his "vast portfolio that hes hiding from his ex wife, john Gotti never adopted this "queen ," this story was made up by Kasman and reporters looking for headlines

Dante

Robert - WRONG! It was Gambino Boss Gotti, Sr., that gave Kasman the "adopted Son" deal...... I urge you to get your facts straight - Putz..... It was ALL about Kasman -- Where was JR Gotti? Fighting in Clubs all over Long Island..... Bringing disgrace on his dear ole dad ------ Ask Atty Mel Roth ----

Angel
Angel

John A. might have been doing alot of things but he was NOT ratting out "Daddy" like Kasman was! Ratting on his "Daddy" since 1995 making sure he stayed in solidary confinement for ten years! Kasman proclaimed himself Gotti's adopted son too!!!!! Hahahahahaa Sons like that no one needs!

Angel
Angel

Hahahaa "Dante" at least he was ratting his "Daddy" out to the feds! Kasman brought disgrace to Pappa John! Keeping "Daddy in Marion all those years. Rat since 1995 Judas!
