Is Larry Birkhead’s Ex Lawyer Debra Opri Holding a Grudge?

 

Wow! Debra Opri, Larry Birkhead’s former lawyer is claming he owes her $620,492.84 worth of unpaid fees/bills.  There’s a little bit of everything on this list of charges. For just her regular lawyer sevice fees she billed $475 per hour and we all know there was a ton of hours racked up in this crazy case.  TMZ has the 112 pages worth of bills that she sent to Birkhead.  Here’s some of the random charges she is saying he owes for:

• March 1, 2007 - a charge of 10 hours for “preparation for and attendance in Bahamas re services and var. meetings re same
• March 3, 2007 - 10 hours for travel from Nassau back to L.A.
• February 24, 2007 - Opri billed $600 for Seafood World. We’re told she brought four trays of lobster to the house. The bill says, “Dinner gift/Ft. Lauderdale house stay.” But it was no gift to Larry. That same day, she billed $211 for items at Publix grocery store.
• March 8, 2007, Opri billed $161.65 for an Outback Steakhouse dinner. And get this — the bill was for $111.65. Opri left a $50 tip and billed Birkhead, who wasn’t even there!
• $4,265 for Cingular roaming service while she was in the Bahamas
• She billed him 18 times for Diva Limos that took them to and from the Ft. Lauderdale courthouse to the private residence.
• October 22, 2006, Opri billed Birkhead $1,116.16 for a dinner at Graycliff, a restaurant in Nassau. The note next to the charge is “Alexiou atty mtg.” Alexiou is Birkhead’s lawyer in the Bahamas. Birkhead was not present.
• October 23, 2006, Opri billed $2,467.75 at Graycliff restaurant for another meal. The charge again was for “Alexiou atty mtg.” Again, Birkhead was not present.
• October 23, 2006, Birkhead was billed $25.75. The item — “laundry service Zawacki.” Zawacki is Opri’s husband, who was present on the trip. Ouch!

And get this, she has even offered him a deal: Instead of the $620,492.84 bill, she offered him a discount at $511,365.09, but only if he accepts immediately. Opri wrote, “I’m still willing to accept the discounted billing at this time, but only without further discussion.”  How nice of her, right?  I’m surprised she didn’t ask for joint custody of Dannielynn too!  Crazy!!
