Bill Cosby Sued By Former Attroneys Over Legal Fees

Newly-minted inmate Bill Cosby has been sued by a disgruntled law firm, who claim the disgraced comic still owes them more than $280,000 in legal fees.

Philadelphia-based firm Schader Harrison Segal and Lewis say the 81-year-old — who Tuesday was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison for sex assault — has refused to pay for almost a year of services. Schnader Harrison partner Sam Silver previously represented Cosby in both his civil and criminal cases.

The complaint, filed earlier this month in Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas, demands the aged sex offender shell out $282,948, plus interest and late fees. They first served Cosby earlier this month with a suit demanding $50,000 in backed invoices.

Cosby has yet to pay the firm for any of their hours billed between August 2017 and July 25, according to court papers.

Silver left the defense team before the 81-year-old’s April retrial, where he was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent assault for the 2004 drugging and molestation of Andrea Constand.

Since he was carted off in cuffs Tuesday, Cosby has been living in a single cell at Pennsylvania’s State Correctional Institution Phoenix, where he could apply for a job in the laundry center, garment factory, or shoe factory.
