Celebrity Justice
Judge to Opri -- You Get a Big Fat Zero!

Attorney Debra Opri just got shut down in her latest attempt to catch a fee.
Click to read!

Opri repped Pamela Bach, The Hoff's ex, for a few months in the ongoing divorce saga. Opri's bill -- $189,000! Opri was fired on June 18. She then filed a motion asking the court to order The Hoff to pay her attorney's fees.

Today, the judge signed an order rejecting Opri's motion, ruling that Pam never gave her permission to go after The Hoff for the fees. Of course, you ask, why wouldn't Pam want David to foot the bill? -- she'd be off the hook.

We're told Pam is angry at Opri and doesn't want her paid, period. Ouch.

Pam is currently being repped by celeb lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Fed's legal eagle.

23.

Just how does a person find a good, honest, decent, caring, experienced lawyer
without going broke???

Getting Justice has a very high $$$ Price tag!!! Esp. in this country.

As for Opri, clients should stay away from her like the plague!!!

24. Oh yes, Justice....I see a lovely little pattern developing here....Opri is a stupid wannabe "tv legal analyst/celebutard lawyer" and she's not cutting it.

26. 8. That's pretty damn funny! Her client decides not to pay her, so Opri thinks she can collect her clients fees from the defendant. LOL

LOL as an attorney you'd think she'd know that wasn't going to happen. She's really showing her (in)competence.

27. To # 26 "Buddy" - please use "Spell Check". My brain is bleeding from trying to decipher what you wrote!

28. I don“t get it this time. I bet Opri was fighting for Hoffs ex but Mrs ExHoff seems to be such a desaster as a mum no attorney would have won her case.
This time Opri should get her bill payed. Pamela Bach can blame herself if she was so stupid to hire a controversal and expensive lawer.

29. To Dawn Day, #12
Opri was demanding in excess of $625,000.00 for representing Larry Birkhead--AFTER she had told him that she would do it GRATIS, because of all of the publicity she knew she would get. Charging a client over $2,000.00 for one dinner, $45,000.00 in phone calls, $2,000.00 for dry cleaning(!) and thousands for her husband--who wasn't even working on the case--were gross exaggerations and in themselves should get her disbarred!

30. Eat hot death and die Opri. You give all lawyers a bad name.
