Sandra Bullock's Husband Sued For Outstanding Lawyers' Fees 9/6/08

Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James has been hit with a breach of contract lawsuit by his former lawyer over unpaid fees.

James, the owner of custom motorcycle firm West Coast Choppers, Inc. is accused of failing to pay $327,533 (£177,044) to law firm Keats McFarland & Wilson LLP, after hiring their services in 2001 to protect his intellectual property rights.

Lawyers represented James until April 2007, but he has allegedly yet to hand over the cash for his attorneys' work.

They have now resorted to legal action against James, and filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday (05Sep08).

Bosses at Keats McFarland & Wilson are seeking return of the payment in addition to 10 per cent interest and costs, reports TMZ.com.
