Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil is fighting back against his former lawyer’s demand for $190,000, with the rocker accusing his former counsel of overcharging him for years.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the Mötley Crüe frontman is denying owing his former lawyers the amount and claims their billing was inflated.
He is in the middle of disputing the bill from the firm Howard & Howard Attorneys and their billing with the State Bar of Nevada.
Neil believes he was overbilled “for numerous legal services based upon his status as a celebrity. Many of the charges in Howard & Howard’s billing are questionable at best.”
He takes issue with a specific bill where he was charged $1,784.50 for 4.3 hours spent on writing a letter relating to the case.
Neil says he is well known in the Las Vegas community and “maintains a celebrity status as a successful rock and roll entertainer.” He feels the law firm inflated their billing in an attempt to collect more money than owed from Neil.
The law firm previously said that despite him not paying, they continued to represent him. They recently asked the judge to allow them to drop Neil and for a lien in the amount of $187,364.01.
