Lichtman grew up in Clark, New Jersey.[4] He graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1990 and opened his own law firm in 1999.[4]

Lichtman's law offices are on Lexington Avenue in New York City. In addition to John Gotti, Jr., some of his clients include rappers The Game and Fat Joe.[5][6]
