Florida State DE Chris Casher being sued by lawyer
The former lawyer of Florida State defensive end Chris Casher is suing him for non-payment of services rendered while he was defending Casher during his school code of conduct hearing.
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Casher agreed to pay Tallahassee-based attorney Adam Ellis $2,500 for his representation during the May hearing, but the firm has received no money from Casher and that attempts to reach Casher or his father have been unsuccessful.
"Morris Parnell & Ellis provided legal services as agreed and represented you at the hearing," attorney Adam Ellis wrote to Casher in July, according to The Democrat. "The hearing was a success and you were not suspended or expelled from school, and you will be permitted to continue playing on the football team."
Casher and FSU cornerback Ronald Darby faced student conduct code violations for their roles in the alleged sexual assault involving quarterback Jameis Winston.
While the results of the hearing are unknown, the Wall Street Journal reported that Casher did receive one year of probation after being found responsible for two violations of the school's conduct code: acts that invade the privacy of another person and the recording of images without consent.
Casher missed the first game of the season because of academic issues, but has played in ever game since.
