From linked cnn article - July 2017:

CNN) Alan Futerfas is a New York-based criminal attorney with who has frequently represented clients in organized crime and cybersecurity cases -- and he's also the new lawyer for Donald Trump Jr.

Trump Jr., under increased scrutiny amid revelations that he met last year with a Russian lawyer pertaining to "information that would incriminate" Hillary Clinton, has hired Futerfas to represent him. While in law school, Futerfas worked for attorney Jay Goldberg, who also represented Donald Trump in his previous divorce cases.

When news first broke of Trump Jr.'s involvement in the pre-election meeting with a Russian lawyer, Futerfas said in a statement that it was "much ado about nothing." The statement also called the period of May to early June 2016 "an intensely busy time" for Trump Jr.

It is true that in Futerfas' long career he has represented a number of people, including many with mafia ties.

3. I think it's a smart move because at this point that is what the Trump orginizaiton needs.

They are well past the typical Washington attorneys we've seen in other presidential scandals. They now need criminal attorneys.
