Michael Jackson Estate Sued For $200,000 For Unpaid Legal Fees

Michael Jackson’s estate has been sued for about $200,000 by a U.K. law firm stating it was not paid for his work from 2007-2009.

MICHAEL JACKSON ESTATE SUED OVER UNPAID LEGAL FEES

London-based Atkins Thomson Solicitors have filed a claim for breach of contract in relation for work they did for the late King of Pop. Atkins wants the amount originally invoiced, plus interest and the costs of the lawsuit.

The firm’s attorney, Stanton L. Stein, wrote in their complaint: “Defendants have failed to honor Jackson’s obligations under, and has materially breached, the agreement with Atkins, and any implied covenants therein, by failing to make the payments as required.”

The company claims that it provided legal services to the star from 2007-2009.

Howard Weitzman, attorney for the estate, said: “The Estate doesn’t believe the attorney’s claim for work allegedly done for Michael Jackson is valid and we intend to contest this lawsuit.”

The legal claim comes a few days after it was reported Michael’s three children, Prince, 19, Paris, 17, and Blanket, 14, might lose most of their inheritance due to debts and tax bills.
