In court papers obtained from Franklin County Municipal Court in Ohio, lawyer Avonte Campinha-Bacote hit Abraham, 27, with the lawsuit on November 19, 2018.
“Defendant Farrah Abraham contracted with me to provide legal services on an hourly basis,” the complaint read. “Defendant has paid the balance on every invoice to date, with exception of the October invoice.”
The invoice is in the amount of $2,577.50. “Upon presentment of the invoice, Defendant indicated to Plaintiff that she would not be paying the invoice,” the complaint continued. “In an attempt to justify her non-payment, Defendant claimed that because she voluntarily and without good cause failed to follow through on a deal (a deal that Defendant was using Plaintiff’s services for) she should not have to pay.”
The former lawyer claimed his services have “never been contingent on anything.” “Plaintiff simply bills his time at the hourly rate stated on the invoice for the matters in which Defendant chooses to engage him.” He then accused her of breeching their contract.
n the billing statement, her ex-lawyer charged her for “service processor fees for TRO” against Saran, which is an abbreviation for temporary restraining order. As readers know, Abraham dated Simon Saran on-and-off for years. The two are currently appearing on MTV’s Ex on the Beach.
Other services include “email correspondence with Network re: Farrah return for finale” for a “dating project,” and for conference calls and discussions for celebrity boxing. As RadarOnline.com broke, Abraham dropped out of the Atlantic City match because she wasn’t given tickets, comp rooms and more, as allegedly promised by vendors
Abraham was fired from Teen Mom OG because of her harsh treatment of the crew and her return to XXX web cam shows.
