- Share via
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A lawyer who represented Rodney Dangerfield in a lawsuit against a car dealership that used a Dangerfield sound-alike in a commercial is now suing the comic, claiming he owes more than $24,000 in legal fees.
Robert Shupack’s lawsuit, filed Wednesday, also names Dangerfield’s nephew, Leonard Garfinkel, who is identified as his uncle’s agent or trustee.
Shupack of Hollywood, Fla., said nearly $18,000 of the money is for the lawsuit he filed against Hollywood Honda. That suit was settled out of court.
Garfinkel said he had no comment.
