[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re voluntarily terminating the conservatorship. Let’s see where this is in five year. The Tuohy’s will remain successful, Oher will be broke. [/quote]
How voluntary is something when you have to be sued to do it? [/quote]

I thought he was suing them for $, not to have the conservatorship removed?  It sounds like they haven’t really ever done anything with the conservatorship since he went to college. But I’m sure it will all come out now.

They didn’t really make much money on the actual movie (Hollywood Studio greed), but maybe he is entitled to a percentage of their earnings for things like motivational speaking gigs they got after the movie came out? It’s a big grey area.

He wants the conservatorship removed and a full forensic accounting of said conservatorship.[b] He is clearly entitled to that and if they had nothing to hide, this would be cut and dried.[/b] Singer's involvement makes me think it is not, though his involvement might be due to the damage this does to their brand. The monetary figures express the suspicion that they swindled him out of his fair share of assets generated by his story and likeness, not part of the petition per se. [/quote]

This. So why did the Tuohys rush to hire Singer if this is a matter of a technicality (ending the conservatorship) and super-straightforward accounting (showing they did not exploit him financially)? [/quote]

Because they have a lot of money ? Having money makes one a target. So best to hire a great lawyer than to lower one's guard.[/quote]

Nope. That doesn't fly. He's not suing them for money at this point, just asking for an accounting. Again, if they have nothing to hide and took "zero" he was entitled to (their claim), why is this hard or complicated?[/quote]

Who are they allowed to hire to represent them? You make no sense.[/quote]

No, you've failed to explain why they felt the need to pay an enormous amount of money to an infamous Hollywood fixer when all they need to do is end the conservatorship and provide an accounting of profits they made from Oher's business interests. Why is he necessary or valuable here? Be specific.[/quote]

They needed a lawyer to reply to the petition- an accounting is a legal document that a non-professional can’t just produce on their own. And if you’re going to hire a lawyer, why not hire a really good one if you have the money?

What kind of a person would try to provide an accounting to a court without professional legal advice?
