Casey Kasem’s widow dumped by lawyers, has $500K unpaid bill

Not only is Casey Kasem’s body missing, his wife has suffered another dramatic blow: She’s been dropped by her lawyers.

Jean Kasem no longer has legal representation, reports TMZ. Haney & Young, who had been providing counsel for the beloved DJ’s widow, is asking the court to release them from their duties.

The lawyers say Jean is a nightmare to work with — she never answers emails and will not talk on the phone. To add insult to injury, she’s run up a $500,000 bill.

Haney & Young stated in a letter that if she doesn’t pay up soon, the cash will come from Kasem’s estate.

Kasem’s daughter Kerri was granted a temporary restraining order on July 16 to prevent her stepmother from cremating or removing Kasem’s body from a funeral home.

Since then, his body, initially thought to be in Montreal, has gone missing. Jean has not commented on its whereabouts. Kerri wants an autopsy to be performed.
