ATTORNEY SUES ANNA NICOLE’S ESTATE November 09, 2007

According to court papers first obtained by CelebTV.com, L.A.-based attorney Sorrell Trope is suing Anna Nicole Smith’s estate for unpaid legal bills.

In a creditor’s claim filed in L.A. Superior Court on Nov. 7, Trope’s firm is seeking precisely $162,855.67 for legal work done “in connection with family law matters” for Smith from October 2006 to March 2007.

The total bill for Trope’s services was over $280,000, and $118,000 of that sum was paid, leaving the balance of over $162,000 still due to Trope, the papers say.

A call to Sorrell Trope from CelebTV.com was not immediately returned.

Anna Nicole, a former Playboy Playmate, died in February.

Ron Rale is a partner at Trope & Trope. It would be interesting to know if Rale knew Sorrell Trope was going to do this. I’ve wondered if a reputable law firm would want to be associated with HKS.
