Harvey Weinstein’s Lawyers Going After Him for Nearly $500K
Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein may owe his former lawyers nearly $500,000 for work they did in four cases brought against him by insurance companies, reports the New York Post‘s Page Six.
Court documents show that Abelson Herron Halpern LLP is seeking $420,495 in the suits brought against Weinstein by insurance companies who say they shouldn’t have to pay for the costs of his civil and criminal defenses in the sexual misconduct and assault cases brought against him.
Page Six’s Priscilla DeGregory writes that the firm is staking a claim to the money they say they are owed by putting a lien on the ongoing litigation with the insurance companies in the event that Weinstein recoups money from any of them.
