Larry Burkhead: Sue Your Lawyer
Larry Burkhead has his own website, www.larrybirkhead.net. The majority of its posting involves Larry Burkhead clarifying legal issues, including his silence on the issue of his attorney’s bills. Based upon other information on the page, these postings may be somewhat dated. The lawsuit that Burkhead filed last Friday is not mentioned.
What we do know, thanks to TMZ.COM and others, is that Larry Burkhead has sued his former attorney. CNN reports that the lawsuit is based upon malpractice, based upon factual allegations that, among other things, Debra Opri misrepresented herself as a family law specialist, and that she promised to work on the case without a fee and then held over a half million dollars from Burkhead as payment for legal fees. Fraud allegations are involved, as well.
