Rudy Giuliani's personal assistant has dodged two felony charges of insurance fraud thanks to Trump's lawyer, DailyMail.com has learned.

Giuliani, 74, took time out of his job as the president's personal attorney to defend Vanessa Ryan, 34, the daughter of his alleged lover, in Broward County, Florida on Monday.

Ryan saw her two charges thrown out after state prosecutors agreed to drop the case and she was let off with a slap on the wrist.

She escaped a possible maximum sentence of two years in prison, a job-busting convicted felon label, and high fines and penalties.

Ryan was accused of fraud last year after she called Progressive to renew her insurance from the scene of a car crash but failed to report the accident during the call. She filed a claim a day later

Circuit Criminal Court Judge Barbara McCarthy instead ordered Ryan to pay $1,641 in investigative costs.

Soon, Ryan will be able to have the case sealed, and records that it ever existed will be wiped completely clean.

Ryan, her other lawyer Steve Rossi, or Giuliani returned calls for comment.

Former Broward County Circuit Court Judge John Contini said cases involving celebrities like Giuliani do command more attention from the justice system.

'Unfortunately, when you deal with human nature, it defies logic to say that this case was treated like any other,' Contini said.

'As soon as a celebrity walks into the courtroom, everybody's attention, from the judge to the prosecutor, is hyper-focused. There's heightened scrutiny. Suddenly, the outcome will be analyzed. It could be good for the defendant, but it's a double-edged sword.'

However, Michael Gottlieb, a prominent Broward County attorney who watched Giuliani at work in a hearing for Ryan, said the case was straight-forward, no matter who the lawyers were.

'I don't believe the system showed any favoritism because it involved the president's lawyer,' Gottlieb said.

'This young lady appeared to qualify for the treatment she received.'

Gottlieb referred to the fact Ryan, who works as an assistant to Giuliani, didn't have a criminal record at the time she was arrested in 2017.

When he flanked Ryan before the judge in a court appearance in May, Giuliani said in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com that his appearance was as much as a character witness as her representative.

'I came to show the court she is just a young woman who made a mistake,' Giuliani said.

'She works for me and I'm in the best position to show she should be given a break in this instance.'

According to court records, Ryan turned herself in to authorities in December 2017 after she found out a warrant had been issued for her arrest.

The warrant was the result of an investigation by Florida state insurance fraud department acting on a complaint from Progressive Insurance.

According to the arrest affidavit, Ryan's car insurance lapsed in May 2016 and she failed to renew it.

Eight days later, she was involved in a minor car accident near Fort Lauderdale and called Progressive from the scene of the crash to renew her insurance. She didn't tell the company about accident.

She filed an accident claim on the day after the renewal, triggering a fraud alert at Progressive and a full investigation.

Ryan pleaded not guilty at first. Later in the case, according to the Broward County State Attorney's Office, she tried to change her plea to no contest.

Judge McCarthy, however, refused to accept it.

'The judge was not satisfied with the plea and request for two months' probation,' said Meredith Bush, a communications specialist who returned calls to McCarthy.

'The judge knew the defendant was up on two felonies and she didn't think that plea was enough.'

When the state attorney decided not to prosecute, however, the judge had no choice in dropping the case.

Assistant State Attorney John Paul said: 'The defendant's insurance had lapsed for only a week and in re-applying the defendant made no affirmative false statement,' the economic crimes unit prosecutor wrote in his memo closing the case.

'She also accurately reported the details of the crash, including date and approximate time.'

Earlier this year, Giuliani filed for permission to represent Ryan since he is not a member of the Florida Bar.

'Vanessa has been working for me as an assistant for several months and she's terrific,' Giuliani told DailyMail.com then.

'I've also known her whole family. Her mother is a doctor I've known for years and her dad was a great Marine. This is the least I can do.'

What Giuliani didn't say at the time was that he was allegedly having an affair with Vanessa's mother, hospital CEO and doctor Maria Ryan, according to filings in Giuliani's on-going divorce from third wife Judith.

In a court hearing in Manhattan last month, Judith's lawyer claimed Giuliani recently spent $286,532 on Dr Ryan on things like jewelry and private jets.
