LA-based Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton has filed a lawsuit against Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil to collect legal fees charged during a three month period last year.
According to the complaint, the firm repped Neil from May-August 2008 "in connection with the negotiation of various entertainment and corporate agreements." The bill for the unspecified deals came to $51,404.50, or $62,807.74 including interest.
The firm allegedly has a written fee agreement Neil, which puts it in a better position than the Glaser Weil firm in its fee battle with former client Rod Stewart.
The suit, filed December 4 in superior court in Santa Monica, alleges causes of action for breach of contract, accoutns stated, work labor and services, and quantum meruit.
