One of Glen Campbell's daughters has been granted additional time to review a request to pay attorneys and other professionals involved in her late father's estate. One of tose attorneys has been charging more than $1,000 an hour.
At the request of Debbie Campbell Cloyd a hearing on the fees has been pushed back from Dec. 4 to Dec. 18.
The fee requests, totaling a little over $300,000 were submitted last month by Kimberly Campbell, who is the executor of her late husband's estate. The singer died in 2017 following a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
The $1,050 an hour payments would go to Jay L. Cooper, a partner at Greenberg Traurig LLC. According to filings at the Davidson Probate Court in Nashville, Cooper was brought on to deal with "complicated legal issues related to entertainment law and intellectual property law."
Cooper's fees are included in some $221,793.85 billed to the estate by Greenberg Traurig.
Another petition pending before the court seeks payment of $20,107 to a California accounting firm, Gursey Schneider, with longtime ties to the later singer. The firm also worked on issues relating to intellectual property, according to court filings
The Greenberg motion includes billings for Cooper, his son Todd and other Greenberg Traurig lawyers and support staff. Jay Cooper's hourly rate was $980 in 2017 when he first went to work for the estate.
The third fee petition seeks payment of $64,398 to the Sherrard Roe Voigt Harbison law firm for its work on estate matters.
