Sinking Millennium Towers condo owners hire Trumps lawyer

Condo owners at San Francisco’s sinking Millennium Tower are raising the stakes in their fight to get the infamous downtown building fixed — hiring a celebrity Los Angeles lawyer in anticipation of suing the developer.

Residents of the 58-story high-rise were notified late Monday that the Millennium Tower Association has retained Dan Petrocelli, best known for winning a $33.5 million wrongful-death civil judgment against O.J. Simpson in 1997 on behalf of the families of Simpson’s slain ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.

More recently, Petrocelli represented President Trump in litigation that former students filed against his for-profit Trump University, lawsuits that Trump settled for $25 million just before he took office. The settlement kept the incoming president from having to testify at a trial, and as part of the deal he did not admit any wrongdoing.

“The homeowners association and its residents who purchased the units are the innocent victims,” Petrocelli told us late Monday. “And the people who built this building and were involved in this project — as well as others who contributed to its problems — all have to pay their fair share.

“I am confident we will be able to secure swift relief in this case.”
