MyPillow lawyers say CEO Mike Lindell owes them millions of dollars - eviltoast

The attorneys defending Mike Lindell and his business against defamation claims from voting machine companies are seeking to sever ties with the “MyPillow Guy” over millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees.

In a court filing Thursday, the law firm of Parker Daniels Kibort LLC said Lindell and MyPillow are months behind on their legal bills in three defamation cases, and they can no longer afford to represent him.

“At this time, Defendants are in arrears by millions of dollars to PDK,” the filing said. “PDK is a small litigation and trial firm in Minneapolis, MN and cannot afford to finance Defendants’ defense in the Litigations.”

    I really hope all of these high profile right wing types follow Trump’s lead. All of them having crappy lawyers would be fitting.

      They’re not used to criminal lawyers. They’re used to criminal lawyers. They have no concept of how a legitimate justice system is supposed to work.

      As soon as they can’t intimidate or “whack” a judge, juror, or opponent they go deer in headlights. You can’t blame them really. Their money has shielded them through decades without consequence.

        These people never had whack a judge power, at best they have here’s a hundred thousand you didn’t see anything money. That’s a big difference and one arguably isn’t power just influence that can be switched by offering them slightly more.
