Attorneys representing Lindell and MyPillow in defamation suits filed by voting machine companies say he's fallen behind on his bills and needs to be dropped as a client.

The attorneys defending Mike Lindell and his business against defamation claims from voting machine companies are seeking to sever ties with the “MyPillow Guy” over millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees.

In a court filing Thursday, the law firm of Parker Daniels Kibort LLC said Lindell and MyPillow are months behind on their legal bills in three defamation cases, and they can no longer afford to represent him.

“At this time, Defendants are in arrears by millions of dollars to PDK,” the filing said. “PDK is a small litigation and trial firm in Minneapolis, MN and cannot afford to finance Defendants’ defense in the Litigations.”

    It’s common, but it’s also common to require payment up front or refuse service to businesses with bad credit and/or financial reputation.

      Yes but the retainer is not millions of dollars. I engage a number of firms at any one time and the largest retainer I’ve ever had was $10k.
