Chrisleys Sue Lawyer Over Alleged Mismanagement of Criminal Defense Case
Pardoned reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley are suing an Atlanta lawyer, Christopher Anulewicz, claiming he mishandled their criminal defense in a bank fraud and tax evasion case that resulted in their imprisonment. The Chrisleys are seeking at least 25 million dollars in damages. Their lawsuit was filed after they were released from prison following a pardon from President Donald Trump last year. The couple alleges that Anulewicz and his former law firm, Balch & Bingham, failed to provide adequate defense, which they believe contributed to their conviction. They argue that there was a lack of proper evidence and that the legal representation was insufficient. The Chrisleys contend that they were misled about the strength of their case and the potential outcomes. The lawsuit highlights their claims of financial distress caused by the conviction and the subsequent legal troubles. The Chrisleys assert that they had a reasonable expectation of a better outcome based on the legal advice they received. This legal action adds to their ongoing struggles following their high-profile criminal case.
