Celebrity Justice
Opri to Birkhead -- You Done Me Wrong

Debra Opri railed on ex-client Larry Birkhead today, claiming that she got the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby a million-dollar media deal -- but didn't get bupkis.

Opri appeared via telephone on "The Big Story with John Gibson" and went wild, lashing out at Larry Birkhead, claiming he has publicly smeared her and has destroyed her "good name." Opri claimed she got Birk the baby and made him popular and she deserves to be paid.

Opri defended her humongous legal bill, saying she earned it. Last night on FOX's "On the Record," Greta asked Birkhead who he would like to have dinner with more -- Opri or Virgie Arthur. Birkhead replied that he couldn't afford to have dinner with Opri, so Virgie won by default.

61. I'm with PJ....read Opri's Arb demand on ArtHarris. There are 56 pages to the filing and I'm sure Opri can produce exhibits to support her side of the story. It's quite an eye-opener if you also saw Larry's interview on Greta last night. He did say something like he feels strange, like he's a Beatle.

He'll be on LK tonight...maybe he'll have more to say.

I was all for the DNA test... and whatever Larry had to do in order to get it. But Opri made some 'deals' that put Larry in the position to pay her fees--all with his written consent. ---and now he wants to stiff her. (He made about 2 million on media deals.)

62. TARA -
I happen to be in the field of medicine and I pay my all my bills and have excellent credit...however, you can bet your dumb ass that I'd fight an outrageous bill like this! How would you like it a physician just charged you whatever the hell s/he wanted...they'd not only lose their license for violating ethical standards, they'd face jail time. Face it, Opri is an absolute disgrace...not only to the law profession, but to humanity in general. To prey upon an individual trying to get his daughter back, all-the-while gaining substantial noteriety for herself (you're a moron if you don't believe she took the case for the fame), is absolutely disgusting!!

BS You just don't like that he has joined Howard on the will. She is just mad because she wanted to continue making money off of him. She probably wanted to have the Marshall case. It didn't go her way though did it. I or anyone else would not be able to afford to keep her as an attorney. He has every right to sue her. Who doesn't know about this case. Its just that not everyone agrees with you on Howard Stern.

They said they were paid. I could be wrong, but I don't think they said Larry paid, just that they were paid.

68. Nobody cares about that bitch, Opri. She's been kicked to the curb and screaming because she can't get up. The woman is finished and the more she hollers the crazier she apears.

Posted at 7:04PM on Jun 12th 2007 by Opri is a bitch

69. The more Opri talks, the more she is destroying her career. A real lawyer would just take her client to court if there was a legitimate complaint she would not air her fight on national television.

That is exactly what she does. She cares about getting herself on TV and does not care wether she helps her clients or not.

Opri is making herself look like a joke and she needs to "put up or shut up" : )

73. Larry Sold his soul and PJ....
These people are just part-timers. LOL
(Except for the one who is on a gvt computer and lives here.)

I'm going "home"....would to talk about that interview last night.

74. If you ppl would READ you would know that he signed a contract stating that if he does not compromise her defense IT WOULD BE FREE!!!

Posted at 6:44PM on Jun 12th 2007 by Larry sold his soul to the devil-stern

If you would please read ...Just because he signed a contract does mean she can over charge him and half of the stuff in her filing is just slam Larry BS. A judge will decide what is to be paid. She has way over charged him and she is not going to get the amount she is asking for. And she is going to be in trouble for breaking the client - relationship when she went on TV and said why they parted ways. And yes this was before she sent him the bill. She broke it before a judge signed the paper to end the client -relationship. So he may be right and she might be owing him. Just because you don't like Stern doesn't make Opri right.

Posted at 7:09PM on Jun 12th 2007 by Its too late for Virgie

75. Wow.. the professional haters and bashers hit this thread fast!

When these types aren't making it up, they quote Opri's long litany of lies about ANS, HKS and LB as gospel.
