Hey!!! We finally have WORDS from Rita Cosby :D
In an interview, Cosby, who’s had Opri on her show numerous times, said it was Birkhead who solicited her advice about legal representation, and so she mentioned Opri among several names. She had no idea of the financial arrangement between the duo.
WTH! If he had such good offers why didn’t he take them. NOTE most were not free! What a liar. He gets on my last nerve. Obviously and admittedly HE shopped around.
According to Birkhead, he’d been contacted by a number of attorneys offering their services pro bono; he’d interviewed others who’d asked for retainers ranging from $40,000 to $100,000. Yet none played on his emotions the way Opri did. Smith was planning to marry attorney Howard K. Stern, and Birkhead says Opri told him he was in danger of losing his child if he didn’t sign up with her immediately. Opri denies saying any such thing.
“”””Smith was planning to marry attorney Howard K. Stern,””
I don’t think marriage came up until after Daniel’s death...and he had hired Opri long before that(????) June 2006 IIRC.
He better watch hisself - he’s making a lot of claims - you know Opri made contemporaneous notes of all conversations - TCB.
And another stupid comment:
“”Yet none played on his emotions the way Opri did.””
He ain’t seen nuttin’ yet - Howie has just begun to boogie!
I remember: “My daughter is not for sale”
I notice his daughter is now BOGO - clearance price.
“”””Smith was planning to marry attorney Howard K. Stern, and Birkhead says Opri told him he was in danger of losing his child...”””
Brikhead should pay her for that piece of sage advice, alone.
