Chrisleys sue former defense attorney, alleging legal malpractice in case that sent them to prison
The couple say their lawyer missed key evidence challenges and that the case cost them prison time and more than $25 million in income, according to the complaint.
- On Friday, reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley filed a lawsuit against their former attorney, Christopher Anulewicz, and his law firm, Balch & Bingham, seeking at least $25 million in damages for alleged legal malpractice.
- According to the complaint, Anulewicz failed to suppress derivative evidence, including emails and financial records that formed the core of the government's case, leading to their bank fraud and tax evasion convictions.
- The lawsuit further claims Anulewicz steered the pair into a $75,000 investment in his brother-in-law's food truck business, neglecting his professional duties to benefit his own family while managing their federal defense.
- Patrick T. O'Connor, an attorney representing the defendants, stated Monday that they have not yet been served with the lawsuit but intend to defend the firm and Anulewicz vigorously.
- President Donald Trump pardoned the couple last year for the 2022 convictions, and this legal action follows their release from federal prison where they were separated from their family and their reputations were damaged.
