Michael Jackson Estate In Battle Over Legal Fees
I have previously discussed some of the ongoing issues surrounding the estate of Michael Jackson. A law firm in the U.K. has recently claimed that the Michael Jackson’s estate owes it about $200,000 for work it did for the pop king between 2007-2009. “Atkins Thomson Solicitors is suing prominent entertainment attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain, executors of Jackson’s estate, for breach of contract in a state claim filed Monday in California.” The firm claims that it provided Michael Jackson with hundreds of hours of legal work and services. The estate plans on contesting the suit arguing that the firm’s claims are not valid.
