San Diego-based Gordon & Holmes filed suit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court against the singer-actress, also alleges invasion of privacy and intentional interference with a prospective economic advantage. They are asking for unspecified damages.
Love's attorney, James Janowitz, did not immediately return a call for comment.
According to the suit, Gordon & Holmes represented Love from December 2008 to May 2009. But at one point, Love objected when asked by one of the firm's members that she refrain from substance abuse during their representation, according to the complaint. Love allegedly fired the firm but later requested that they resume representing her after she became dissatisfied with the lawyers who replaced them. The firm declined, according to the suit.
"Due to the lack of any indication Love would honor the condition to refrain from substance abuse for at least the duration of (the) attorney-client relationship ... plaintiffs declined to again take on Love's representation," the suit says.
Love, widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, then allegedly began making statements on Twitter that the attorneys had taken a bribe.
"Love intended to communicate to others the false statement about Holmes which wrongly accused plaintiffs of engaging in improper, immoral, illegal, criminal and unethical conduct," the lawsuit alleges.
In March, Love
settled a lawsuit with a designer who also alleged she defamed her on Twitter.Source: http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_18157058?source=rss
