Mötley Crüe vocalist, Vince Neil, has been ordered to pay his former lawyers $170,000 in a legal battle in which he accused them of overbilling him because he’s famous, reports Ryan Naumann of The Blast.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, a Federal judge has ordered Vince Neil to pony up $148,962 for fees and $21,207 in court costs for a grand total of $170,169.
Neil and his former lawyers at the firm Howard & Howard had been battling it out over the alleged unpaid bill. Howard & Howard demanded they be allowed to place a lien against Neil for an alleged unpaid $187,364 bill. The firm said they worked for Neil for years and were representing him in the civil assault lawsuit brought by a female fan. They said despite him not paying they continued to represent him but finally reached a breaking point.
