Mayfield lawyer says he's owed money

By Mark J. Miller

“JeremySuspended NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield has had quite a year. NASCAR accused him of taking methamphetamines, he called the police on his stepmother for trespassing while supposedly looking for her cat, and now his former lawyer is saying that he is owed a boatload of cash, according to ESPN.

Charlotte-based attorney Bill Diehl, who charges $1,000 an hour, handled Mayfield's case against NASCAR to protest the suspension for methamphetamine use and he's saying Mayfield hasn't paid him anything. Mayfield has apparently dumped Diehl as his lawyer and now has Mark Geragos at the helm. Geragos has repped a slew of celebs and big cases, including ones for Michael Jackson, Winona Ryder, and everybody's favorite husband, Scott Peterson.

Mayfield has spent part of the last few months crying poor but Diehl says he's not so bad off and he is determined to get the dough owed him.

    for all of you that doesn't know mayfield you have a lot to learn yet he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and comes a family that has money and is related to the hodges in owensboro who is pretty wealthy also and i use to race against him in whitesville,ky. at kentucky motor speedway and he is nothing but, a cry baby spoiled brat that has always been use to getting his way and he was always doing drugs at the race track and around town but, he always got his way and what he wanted and now is pay back time for him and i hope they take every dime he has to his name and force him to sell his race team he deserves whatever he gets out of all the people that he has screwed over in ownesboro,ky.and bring him back to the level he belongs in. and i hope he never gets to race ever again.

    I wonder if he could help the Phillies bullpen. Oh and everett, breath. And try using a period here and there. It helps the rest of us in understanding when one of your thoughts come to a close.

    I am sure that the Baseball Commisioner will take care of that ASAP. Just like he is taking care of nothing else! We still have lousy umpiring and not enough replay. YAHOO BLOWS IT AGAIN.
