A Brooklyn attorney representing his sister-in-law in a child support case was arrested for allegedly punching his client’s ex-husband in a court office elevator. Patrick Bisogno of Bisogno & Meyerson in Brooklyn has been charged with attempted assault in the third degree and second-degree harassment, both misdemeanors, after allegedly punching his ex-brother-in-law, John Libertella, in the face on May 9 at court offices on 25 Hyatt St., Staten Island.
Bisogno, 49, denied having any physical contact with the man, according to the Staten Island Advance. He also told the newspaper that the allegations were a "ploy" to have him removed as the attorney in the case. Instead, Bisogno told the paper that Libertella said at one point he was videotaping Bisogno. Bisogno said he put up his hand to block the camera but never touched Libertella.
