Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein is suing a former lawyer for breach of contract and is seeking a one million dollar refund on legal fees.

Weinstein alleges Jose Baez was regularly preoccupied with other matters, passed important work to other lawyers, was often unavailable to speak with him about his New York rape case and later provided fraudulent billing records.
