Attorneys Withdraw From Representing Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Citing Unpaid Bills
Law firm Sher Tremonte says months of unpaid legal fees and a breakdown in communication led it to drop the imprisoned music mogul as a client.
Attorneys for rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs have told a court they are no longer representing him, citing a dispute over unpaid legal bills, according to The Guardian.
Combs is currently serving a 50-month federal prison term for prostitution-related offenses, the report said.
In a court filing, Michael Tremonte, a partner at the New York law firm Sher Tremonte, said Combs had become “increasingly belligerent” in recent months, which he said contributed to “a total breakdown in cooperation and communication” between the firm and its client.
The filing did not specify the exact amount of unpaid fees or detail further terms of the dispute, according to the source material.
The Guardian reported that Sher Tremonte's withdrawal comes as Combs continues to serve his sentence. Further details about his legal representation going forward were not immediately available.
