A law firm has filed a lawsuit against Shilo Sanders, alleging that he has failed to pay more than $164,000 in outstanding bills, a source with knowledge of the case confirmed to Pak Gazette Digital.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, claims Sanders owes money for services Barnes & Thornburg provided him while he faced a personal injury lawsuit in 2023, leading him to file for bankruptcy in October.
The firm “provided the legal services and incurred the costs reflected in the invoices between May 1, 2024 and August 26, 2024, in accordance with the Agreement,” the lawsuit states, according to USA Today, which first reported on the lawsuit.

“Mr. Sanders, however, has not paid the amounts reflected on the invoices presented to him, and has not offered payment in response to plaintiff’s efforts to obtain payment of the outstanding invoices. The total invoices Mr. Sanders currently owes plaintiff is $164,285.55, including $10,967.91 in interest for services performed and costs incurred.”
The personal injury lawsuit came about when Sanders was accused in 2016 of causing permanent damage to a security guard at Sanders’ Dallas high school after he tried to confiscate her phone. He is $11 million in debt after he failed to show up for trial, resulting in a default judgment.

Sanders filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy to obtain his release, but the security guard is fighting that case.
