The producer suing — and being sued — by Farrah Fawcett’s estate has fired back in a new lawsuit, in which he is now suing high-profile Los Angeles law firm Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, alleging legal malpractice and negligence.

Craig Nevius’ claim was filed last week in the Superior Court of California.

In it, he alleges Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp breached Farrah’s loyalty, breached fiduciary duty and accuses it of despicable conduct and fraud.

He is also suing lawyers Pagnanelli Karis and Kim H. Swartz. Both lawyers and the firm previously represented Fawcett, Nevius and the pair’s production company Sweetened By Risk LLC, which produced Farrah’s Story.
In a separate suit, Nevius is suing Fawcett’s longtime companion, actor Ryan O’Neal and her friend Alana Stewart, claiming it didn’t adhere to the Charlie’s Angel’s wishes and improperly cut him out of the process.
He has also claimed the trustee of Fawcett’s estate has withheld money from some of the actress’ beneficiaries, including her father.
Nevius, a one-time Fawcett confidant, also alleged the lawsuit against him filed by trustee Richard B. Francis is a misuse of the actress’ money.
Nevius is not seeking any money from Fawcett’s estate, he has previously stated.
Comment from Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp is being sought.

I greatly admire Farrah's courage in filming her cancer treatments. She raised awareness and understanding of this insidious disease, and also the (100% wrong) social stigma attached to it by ignorant people.

I am a recent survivor of the same kind of cancer Farrah suffered. This disease is not caused by sexual acts. Very unfortunate a person can post such a cruel and false remark about this brave woman.

his mouth just keeps running like diarhea. Craig, I am behind you 100% all you need to do is let me know how I can help. These leeches that sucked the life and energy out of Farrah need to held accountable. Ryan, Alana, so many Leeches!

All Farrah believers knew the do****entary was called "A Wing and a Prayer" I even know someone that said they had seen that version and that it was wonderful, but that FAT person is against the TRUTH now. He LIED anyway, he never saw anything, but...

I am so proud of Craig. I am so proud that he is still fighting for Farrah's creative vision and to have her wishes be carried out. Anyone with a brain can see that MS&K has a conflict of interest. Craig ROCKS!

LMAO!!!! I am so sorry she died, but she pretty much brought it on herself. It is like someone who smokes and gets cancer. Its terrible but they brought it on, no one else.
