A Nashville probate judge has approved an additional $144,132.25 in legal and accounting fees incurred in the estate of Glenn Campbell, the fames singer and songwriter who died in 2017 after a long illness.
Judge David "Randy" Kennedy approved the fees this week in Davidson Probate Court. Legal fees totaling $124,804.75 were allowed for the Greenberg Traurig law firm. While accounting fees totaling $19,327 were approved for Gursey Schneider.
Both firms have longtime ties to Campbell.
The legal fees related to research on entertainment and intellectual property issues. The bulk of the fees will go to Jay Cooper, who billed at the rate of $1,100 per hour. His firm has been paid over $500,000 thus far.
