TikTok Lawyer Investigates Viral Claim About Blake Lively's Attorney

A recent social media post claimed that Michael Gottlieb, lawyer for actress Blake Lively, had 49 cases before Judge Liman. A TikTok video by legal professional Katie Pope investigated this claim. Pope was unable to verify the claim regarding the 49 cases. However, her search revealed a different lawyer named Michael Gottlieb, practicing in Washington D.C., who had cases before Judge Liman, including involvement in the Rudy Giuliani election worker case. This highlights the importance of verifying information found on social media. The incident underscores the need for caution when accepting information at face value, especially on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and the challenges of navigating the complexities of public legal information.
