According to court papers, Jackson has accused Los Angeles law firm Ayscough and Marar of conspiring with other lawyers who represented him in the past, to put him into involuntary bankruptcy
Jackson also cited claims that former attorney Brent Ayscough threatened to leak confidential information about him to the press, broke rules of professional conduct and committed acts of negligence and malpractice.
A few months back, Ayscough sued Jackson for 216,000 dollars he claims he is owed in unpaid fees, reports Contactmusic.
The king of pop, who is currently staying in Ireland, is also embroiled in a 48 million dollars lawsuit brought by Darien Dash, the cousin of hip-hop mogul Damon Dash. Dash claims he has Jackson's signature on a document promising to pay him a nine per cent fee for securing financing for a 275 million dollars loan in 2004 held by Fortress Investments. (ANI)
