Being Sheree Whitfield’s divorce attorney is apparently hazardous to the bottom line.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member allegedly owes two separate law firms more than $180,000 in divorce-related fees.

She first hired Levine & Smith as her divorce attorney in 2006 against her now former husband and NFL player Bob Whitfield.

In early 2009, Steve Montalto of Levine & Smith sued Sheree, saying she owed him more than $87,000 in unpaid fees related to her divorce. That situation has not been resolved yet, based on recent court filings.

In an interview today, Montalto said she has “ignored and stonewalled any effort to respond to post-judgment discovery about her assets and income,” he said.

He has asked a judge to force her to respond and to threaten her with incarceration. “She thinks she’s above the law,” Montalto said. He also has liens against Bob, her ex husband, which he has ignored.

Her next divorce attorney, Weinstock & Scavo, began working with her in 2007.

On June 10, the firm filed a civil lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court for $96,190.18 in fees related to her divorce. (Interest, the lawsuit said, amounted to $18,709.07 of that total.)

The impetus for this lawsuit came after Bob Whitfield sold property in Atlanta last October. He wrote in court documents that he needed to sell the property to finish paying off his original $775,000 divorce settlement agreement with Whitfield he signed in 2005.

Weinstock & Scavo recorded a lien on March 19, 2009 in favor of the firm for unpaid attorneys’ fees and expenses owed by Sheree. The law firm claimed Bob Whitfield and the people buying his property were aware of the unpaid attorney’s lien but chose to ignore it.

In citing breach of contract, the law firm said “Ms. Whitfield has acted in bad faith, has been stubbornly litigious and has caused W&S unnecessary trouble and expense entitling W&S to an award of attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation in connection with this case.”

Rumor has it, Sheree is getting the boot from next season’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta”!  Bravo is not confirming, nor denying this is true.  They are simply stating “No decisions have been made about season 3 yet.!”

This is a clip of her successful “She by Sheree” show.  It is well known that Dwight Eubanks was a huge contributor to the success of this show.  However, it hasn’t been told that Dwight’s publicist Glenn Bean was also a great contributor to this event.  While Sheree was sashaying around trying to get her hair done, Eubanks and Glenn were putting together an event they had thirty hours to pull together.  They even went as far as to contribute their own personal funds to help finance the show, along with several sponsors.   And with all their time, effort, and hard-work they put into her show… they have yet to receive a simple “THANK YOU”!
