Celebrity Justice
Process Server to Opri - It's Dangerous Chewing Her Ass

Debra OpriTMZ has learned Debra Opri got a visit tonight from a famous P.I., who served her with Larry Birkhead's lawsuit filed Friday.

Birkhead hired attorney Michael Trope to sue Opri, alleging she defrauded him by taking hundreds of thousands of dollars he earned and diverted them into her client trust fund account.

John Nazarian, the famous P.I., went to Opri's Santa Monica home tonight and handed her the lawsuit. We're told Opri's reaction: "I have insurance to cover this,"

Opri then told Nazarian, she wanted to know who the hell was Michael Trope. Nazarian put it this way, "I wouldn't want him chewing on my ass."

496. No not counter suit - can't do that because he agreed to binding arbitration - then you can't fo to court so he doesn't get an offset

All he has is mal practice claim - Opri will get her money in the arbitration - its in her trust account so they just need to say okay this is your correct bill then she may transfer it to herself - basically LB never intended to pay her a dime - and she caught on -

The Malpractice claim will be defended and paid by her insurance -- years and years and years from now if ever

What happened today in Bahamas - tough luck LB you are old old old news now-

497. Good for Larry for filing a lawsuit against Opri...she SHOULD be DISBARRED for what she's done! She's what you call a thief. Plus, Larry told her NOT to show up at the funeral, she did along w/ her entourage and then billed Larry for their high class meals, her husbands dry-cleaning expenses, and might as well say that she went on a high-class vacation and tried to get away with it at Larry's expense. I wonder how many other clients she's done this to, and hopefully, they open their eyes and check their records to see if she conned them also.
Another attorney who appeared on the scene representing Vergie, O'Quinn, is also in hot water for scamming his breast implant clients out of thousands of dollars. Read about him -- http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4875480.html

498.
Everyone needs to read the Art Harris article (http://www.artharris.com/) about Opri
and to read the 56 page Court Document Opri's Lawyer submitted on her behalf, (http://www.artharris.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/opri-6-6-07-response.pdf)requesting the Court order Arbitration of her bill to LB. It's hilarious, twisted and revealing.

Opri claims among many things:

- LB demanded she file a paternity action in CA (wrong Country) because CA was a media capital and could begin the process of making him a celebrity.
- LB knew he had nothing to do with the FL case regarding the disposition of ANS' body, that was strictly between HKS and VA, but demanded Opri have the Judge allow LB to testify because that is where the media and 'all the action' was.
- Opri had withdrawn from the case (LB says she was fired) the day before but Opri says the Bahamas Court simply enforced the CA Court's order for DNA testing that Opri had previously secured. The DNA order from CA that ANS did not comply with and which the FL Court refused to enforce was now being enforced by a foreign Country's Court according to Opri. That is, LB's Bahamas' Lawyer did not get a DNA test of DL, she did!
- LB was 'obsessed' with her and 'high maintenance'.

Opri numerous times insinuates that LB and HKS have some sort of relationship, coming very close to saying he's gay. Opri knows that public opinion in the USA almost always turns visciously against gay people.

Opri - who spread lies, rumors and innuendos about HKS so successfully that to this day many people still believe them to be true and refuse to believe they have been 'had'.

Opri - has now turned her sick and twisted flame-thrower on LB. Opri wants the world to believe she filed useless Court actions in two different States of the wrong Country only because LB insisted, not because she was incompetent or a media-whore.

Phew... a woman scorned ... :-)

500. 475. Opri should hang out with Paris. They have the same values - little to none

===========================================================

Hardly. Last I looked it was Birkhead who violated the terms of the retainer agreement with Opri that he signed. Values? Apparently that's something Birkhead lacks.

501. # 499 Why didn't Virgie go tp jail for having a loaded gun in the house, in her purse and son finding it, and shoting his self. That's a bad mother in my book.

502. #496 How do we know that you are able to make a competent decisions for your family? Maybe you are weak imcompetent and inmature person yourself. You don't know anything forsure do you? So none of us know what Larry is doing, and maybe it is none of our bussiness.

503. Opri is kool! She will eat the Stern/Birkhead team alive.

504. Looks like Opri's publicist has been working overtime on this site trying to make her look decent. I'm sure the publicist is getting paid well cause it's a hard job. The facts speak for themselves. Very creative, you guys. I especially enjoy the attempt to misspell and use incorrect grammar to make your very weak points.

505. Opri was on Fox this AM trying to do damage control.... It was Milstein that invited her to the Bahamas...... not Larry..... out of her own BIG MOUTH.......

LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE.......

506. Dannylynn looks healthy and happy. She is a cutie. Larry has a lot of things he has to take care of. I don't envy him one bit. Anna died pretty much broke the way it looks, with a lot of bills and a lot of lawsuits. Now Larry has to take care of the mess that Anna made. Opri told Larry she was doing his case pro-bono. Then she decided she wanted to be paid. She should be paid expenses that she paid for Larry and that is all (i.e. baby stuff, stuff for apartment, etc.). But Larry can't pay that now until his lawyers say he can. Seeing that Larry told her he didn't want her at the funeral she should not have gone or charged him for it. It is probably true that it was Howard who told Larry to tell Opri not to come to the funeral. But an attorney needs to listen to her/his client too. I hope that Larry comes to his senses and gets Howard out of his and Dannylynn's life. Larry doesn't need Howard, but I fear that Larry made promises to Howard in order to get his baby. I hope that Howard doesn't leech onto Larry and Dannylynn like he did to Anna. If he does that will be a very telling thing. And I don't think that Larry will put up with it for long. Howard has shown himself to be a very vengeful person, i.e. slandering Vergie (even at her daughters funeral). Getting back at Opri. Howard doesn't seem to take responsiblity for his share of blame in Anna's death and for not forcing her to get the help she needed. He was there all the time he saw what was going on. He was Anna's advisor and Anna trusted him, he could have gotten her help if he had tried hard. Anybody could see if Anna kept on like she was doing she would be dead soon. Vergie should get to visit her granddaughter. Vergie should not get any control over her granddaughter or any money of her granddaughters. I don't think they will get anything from the Marshall money. Although I think the Marshall should just settle, because it causes strain and stress on them too. Larry is correct in saying that sometimes it is time to quit fighting and hating. But Larry, you don't have to hate Howard, just try to get him out of your life. He made a mess of Anna's life. Don't let him leach onto you.

507. Everyone blogging on this site is name calling and immature. If we were all as smart as we talk, we would be billing others for our own outrageous time, just like Opri. Move on already. GBW

508. Way to go, Larry. You are finally taking charge of your life. You were runover by Anna and finally Opri. Not your fault; in the first instance you loved her and are just a nice guy; in the second instance, in your state of stress and anxiety, you trusted and shouldn't have. We've all done it. Now, you're on track. Good luck.

509. You people keep inserting the name of Howard K Stern into every discussion. Perhaps you have not read, or have forgotten the statement that Lin Wood issued regarding defaming statements against his client. To refresh:

L. LIN WOOD released a statement warning individuals and media outlets against making speculative claims about his new client.

"Mr. Stern is an innocent individual who has never been charged with any crime but finds himself on trial in the media," Wood says in the statement. "The media trial of Mr. Stern has been based on constant shouts of guilty from a barrage of uninformed commentators based on totally inaccurate and often manufactured 'facts.'

"To those considering making future false accusations against Mr. Stern, please consider the following advice: Don't do it.

"Mr. Stern has nothing to hide and he correctly views civil litigation not only as the forum for obtaining accountability for wrongdoing, but also as a forum for the public to learn the truth." (end of statement.)


Altho you may use screen names....you can still be identified and held liable. Of course, many of you can always plead "insanity".

510. Opri is a disgrace to her profession, and for a lawyer, that's saying a lot! Fancy charging a client for lobster dinners, huge restaurant tips, and her hubby's laudnry bills! She even had the poor taste to charge Larry for attending the ANS funeral. And she did not take adequate steps early enough to facilitate Larry being able to be reunited with his child. Opri cannot take any credit for Larry finally getting reunited with his child and so she cannot expect to be paid, as she did not do her job.
