It's Monday in New York City, where prosecutors say Joseph Corozzo, a longtime defense attorney for alleged mobsters, is a made made man himself.

The U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn made the allegation in a recent court filing as they urged a judge to kick Corozzo off a Staten Island man’s loansharking case.

For Corozzo, the accusation is nothing new. When he represented Dominick “Skinny Dom” Pizzonia in an infamous mafia murder case in 2005, prosecutors sought to disqualify him, noting that his father, Joseph “JoJo” Corozzo, served as the consigliere to the Gambino crime family and his uncle, Nicholas “Nicky” Corozzo, acted as a captain.

But several lawyers, including a former prosecutor, told Gothamist that Corozzo is actually an excellent attorney who deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Here's what else is happening:
