Celebrity Justice
Lawyers to Jacko: You Never Paid Us Backo

JackoAnother batch of Michael Jackson's former lawyers claims the Gloved One screwed them out of dough. Who doesn't Jacko owe money to these days?!

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, the King of Pop is accused of stiffing celebrity super-lawyers Lavely & Singer out of $113,750 in legal fees. According to the documents, the lawyers set up a payment plan for the singer to pay off his $180,000 debt, but Jackson never ponied up the final installment.

It's the second time this year that a team of Jackson's former lawyers has accused him of skipping a bill. As TMZ first reported, a Delaware-based law firm sued Jacko in June, claiming he never forked over $109,994.48 he allegedly owed them for acting as "general counsel" in a case against a concert promoter who accused the singer of backing out of two New Year's Eve concerts in 2000.

A rep for Jacko was not available for comment.

34. Number 9 and 10. With people like BUSh, and Ken lay wrecking lives everyday, misleading people, if someone want to be stupid as in the last case with MJ to try and orchestrate a scheme as the rest of them were able to do and win...then they should pay the attorneys cost. Yes, MJ did put himself in a line of fire. That lady had a wrap sheet, and the other man that got away with it...was someone behind on child support. SO we really don't need to be so judgemental when we don't have all of the pieces to anyone's puzzle. And even if he does not pay his bills on time. TRUST me he is living a much lavish life than the two LILIPUTIANS on this site ...that are worried about it. Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes...and people like Brittney, Michael, Lindsey, and Nicole they are still human beings...and no one should position themselves to throw stones at them while they are down. YOU COULD VERY WELL BE NEXT!

35. Speaking of broke people...why has Donald Trump's name not come up? He too is in the red, and has to resort to doing shows that are much ado about nothing. Rosey, pointed out how he too is a SCAB! So, I guess MJ is in DAMN GOOD COMPANY!

37. Don't lawyers know about Jackson now? Why would you take him on as a client?

38. Serves his attorneys right. They worked really hard to keep this piece of crap out of jail and I have no sympathy for these attorneys that kept this pedophile free to continue to molest children. They don't deserve to get paid and have also earned a front seat in Hell next to Johnny Cochran. Nobody wants to protect children anymore, and since it's all about the mighty dollar, it's only fitting jackson flips them the bird.
