Larry Birkhead wins round one of legal battle
A judge denied ex-attorney Debra Opri’s request to take their legal battle to arbitration.

Ongoing battle
one goes to the tow-head photographer Larry Birkhead in the ongoing legal battle with his former attorney, Debra Opri.
In a tentative ruling issued Thursday, Judge Charles C. Lee denied Opri’s request to take the matter to arbitration and granted Birkhead’s request for a preliminary injunction, which would require Opri to return $591,250 of Birkhead’s money, which now sits in her attorney-client trust fund. From the bench, he ordered an immediate freeze on the money, meaning it cannot be disturbed.
Until March, Birkhead and Opri appeared inseparable, as the combative lawyer led Birkhead’s legal quest to establish paternity and ultimately custody of his baby daughter with the now deceased Anna Nicole Smith. But they acrimoniously parted ways after Opri had $866,250 of Birkhead’s money wired into her attorney-client trust fund. The money was being paid to Birkhead as compensation for a media deal the photographer signed with NBC/Universal.
In June, Birkhead sued Opri for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and legal malpractice. Opri denies all the allegations.
In his legal papers, Birkhead claimed he never gave her authorization for the transfer, and Opri’s side countered that she had his verbal authorization.
Opri gave Birkhead $200,000 of the sum in the account and sent his Bahamian lawyer $75,000 but refused to give him the remainder of the money.
What’s more, at the end of March, she sent him a bill for over $600,000 for her work on the case.
In his tentative ruling, Judge Lee stated that it wasn’t “proper” for Opri to hold Birkhead’s media deal money “subject to an ‘attorney lien.’ “
In her legal papers, Opri asserted that “Birkhead never intended to pay her “ and outlined the “600 plus” hours she spent on the case and alleged that her relationship with Birkhead deteriorated as he became increasingly under the influence of his former nemesis Howard K. Stern, Smith’s boyfriend, with whom he had a “secret” meeting in Florida not long after Smith died.
A final ruling on the motion to compel arbitration and Birkhead’s request for preliminary injunction will be issued in a few days. Birkhead is represented by M.L. Trope, Opri by the attorney David Owen.
It’s pretty sad Ken. My grandkids are into....Waddya mean, you didn’t have a TV and sat in front of the radio to listen to Sky King and the Lone Ranger.
“”....as he became increasingly under the influence of his former nemesis Howard K. Stern, Smith’s boyfriend, with whom he had a “secret” meeting in Florida not long after Smith died.”””

“”””Too many things on my mind. Sorry!!””””

Good evening.
We begin with Larry Birkhead, the freelance reporter and photographer who claims he is the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daughter, Danilynne. With him is his attorney, Debra Opri. And, by the way, Debra will be joining us and coming in in the conversation in a couple of minutes.
There’s a lot of legal stuff that’s been going on in the last couple of days. We want to get you updated on it.
But first, let’s check in with Larry and how — why do you — why do you want this baby?
You don’t go with Anna Nicole so much.
Why do you want her?
BIRKHEAD: Well, it was — it was a long-term plan that we have had together, you know, to have a child. And we tried once before. It was — and it was unsuccessful. It resulted in a mcg which — so we talked again about having a child, you know, the second time and, you know, and I had made plans and preparations for this child and went to the doctors appointments and went to — you know, helped her through morning sickness and shopped for baby items and...
KING: So you were with her through how many months of the pregnancy?
BIRKHEAD: The first nearly five months of the pregnancy.
KING: Why did you break up?
BIRKHEAD: There was — there’s not really one reason, but there were a few reasons and mostly because tension between Anna’s attorney and her friend, Howard K. Stern, just really interfering with our relationship. And there was — there were some issues. I had some concerns over health and some concerns for my unborn daughter with some things that she was doing in her lifestyle.
KING: That Anna was doing?
BIRKHEAD: Yes, sir.
KING: That might have affected the baby?
BIRKHEAD: Yes, sir.
KING: Like drugs?
BIRKHEAD: Yes, sir.
KING: All right, did — did Howard try to enter — did he try to get you out of the relationship?
BIRKHEAD: He did. He did, several...
KING: Out of jealousy?
BIRKHEAD: Well, yes, sir, definitely, overt. I dated — we dated for over two and-a-half years and during that time it was an uphill battle with Mr. Stern. And he’s always — was always interfering with her everyday life.
KING: Did you plan to get married?
BIRKHEAD: Actually, Anna asked me to marry her several times throughout the relationship. I think the first time was maybe one of the first nights that we spent at her home and...
KING: Why did you say no?
BIRKHEAD: It was — it was just not right. It was — you know, I didn’t know her yet and I mean it makes for a good dream or something at that point in the relationship, but it wasn’t just the right timing.

IN RETROSPECT DOES ANYTHING HE SAID MAKE SENSE??????
Hey there! I think a retired FBI agent is calling into looking at ANS and Daniel’s death as murder—it should be a few posts up.
I wanted to defend you the other day on that Duncan Hunter/Fred Thompson thread, but my modem was fighting me and finally I can post a little easier now—I’m sorry you had to go through all that but thank you for standing up for yourself!
The guys nothing but bullsh**. I agree with Virgie. He was a sperm donor....IMOW...a paid sperm donor.
What is it?
Guess I better go watch Greta.
