A Tennessee judge has approved another $61,462.50 in fees to the law firm representing the estate of Glen Campbell, pushing the total of fees to the firm to more than $400,000.
Davidson Probate Judge David "Randy" Kennedy this week approved the payment to Sherrard Roe Voigt and Harbison. The payment had been requested by Kimberly Campbell,the late singer's widow and the executor of his estate.
"Given the circumstances of this case, the time records and requested fees and expenses of $62,333.55 are reasonable and appropriate in these proceedings," Kennedy wrote in the brief order.
The $428,997 collected so far by the Sherrard firm includes $123,888 in fees and $5,341 in expenses the firm was paid separately for legal work when three of Campbell's children contested the will filed by Kimberly Campbell. The challenge was ultimately dropped.
In addition to the Sherrard fees the late singer's estate has recently paid $194,488 in fees to the Greeenberg Traurig law for work on royalties and related issues.
Greenberg lawyer Jay Cooper has billed at a rate of up to $1,120 per hour.
Accounting fees of $92,898 were also recently approved.
