$10 Million Civil Lawsuit Filed Against Nick Gordon

The details surrounding the Bobbi Kristina Brown case are shocking. If you have not followed the Bobbi Kristina Brown saga very closely due to its depressing nature, it is now worth paying attention to based sheerly on its new-bobbi-kristina-brownfound legal component. Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s significant other, was recently served with a $10 million civil lawsuit at a Longwood, Florida Starbucks. The domestic violence lawsuit was filed on behalf of Bobbi Kristina Brown. Bobbi Kristina, 22, is the late Whitney Houston’s only daughter. Her father is former nineteen nineties pop and R&B sensation, Bobby Brown.

The civil lawsuit served upon Gordon, 25, alleges that he committed an array of violent acts against Bobbi Kristina before she was found unconscious in a bathtub. She was recently transferred to an Atlanta hospice due to her worsening condition. Bedelia Hargrove is currently acting as court-appointed conservator. She filed the domestic violence lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court last month.

The civil lawsuit will likely be an uphill battle due to the fact that Gordon has hired some savvy superstar attorneys to help him in the upcoming legal clash. He has recruited acclaimed defense attorney Joe Habachy, who will act as Gordon’s lead lawyer. Rounding out Gordon’s legal team is attorney Jose Baez. Baez who is most famous for his role as Casey Anthony’s lead defense attorney. Gordon will also tap into the legal knowledge of private investigator TJ Ward. Ward is notable for his work on the highly publicized Natalee Holloway disappearance case.
