Vanessa Hudgens settled her legal feud with former attorney Brian Schall, agreeing to fork over the cash she owes after a judge blasted her request to snake out of the debt.
Attorney Brian L. Schall sued Hudgens in September for breach of contract and unjust enrichment, claiming he helped the actress land songwriting and recording deals that netted her more than $5 million and that he advanced costs and expenses for the star during the period they worked together. After Hudgens signed with him in October 2005, Schall alleged that she agreed to pay him 5 percent of her gross earnings from the aforementioned deals and to keep paying him up until 12 months after their lawyer-client relationship had ended. He claimed Hudgens paid him some of the money but still owed him in the neighborhood of $150,000, plus various fees.
Hudgens, who said she fired Schall earlier in the year after determining his services fell “below professional standards,” responded in November by filing a motion seeking to have the legal eagle’s lawsuit tossed out on the grounds that she was only 16 when she hired him. However, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Tricia Ann Bigelow rejected Hudgens’ motion to dismiss the suit last month. Rather than see the matter go to trial, Hudgens apparently elected to hammer out a settlement. With her legal troubles behind her, the actress can get back to focusing on her professional life.
Hopefully, that focus in Vanessa’s life produces another naked picture scandal.
