Attorneys representing Lindell and MyPillow in defamation suits filed by voting machine companies say he's fallen behind on his bills and needs to be dropped as a client.

The attorneys defending Mike Lindell and his business against defamation claims from voting machine companies are seeking to sever ties with the "MyPillow Guy" over millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees.

In a court filing Thursday, the law firm of Parker Daniels Kibort LLC said Lindell and MyPillow are months behind on their legal bills in three defamation cases, and they can no longer afford to represent him.

"At this time, Defendants are in arrears by millions of dollars to PDK," the filing said. "PDK is a small litigation and trial firm in Minneapolis, MN and cannot afford to finance Defendants’ defense in the Litigations."

      Same way banks work, when you owe them 30,000 and can't pay, you're fucked. When you owe them 100 million they're fucked.

      The only time I didn't pay a lawyer up front was to represent me on contingency and they'd take a percentage of the settlement. No fucking way a lawyer would just represent me without a retainer in any other kind of trial (unless they were pro bono).
