Shilo Sanders Faces Lawsuit Over Unpaid Legal Fees Exceeding $164,000

NEW YORK — November 21, 2025 — Shilo Sanders is being sued by a law firm that claims he owes more than $164,000 in unpaid legal fees connected to a 2023 case, according to court documents and officials familiar with the matter.

The lawsuit, filed earlier this month, alleges that Sanders failed to fulfill his financial obligations for legal services rendered during a case that ultimately resulted in his bankruptcy filing. The law firm contends that despite repeated attempts to collect the outstanding balance, Sanders has not made the required payments.

The legal dispute centers on fees accrued during the representation of Sanders in a 2023 matter, which led to his bankruptcy declaration. The firm’s complaint outlines the amounts owed and details efforts to recover the debt prior to initiating the lawsuit.

Sanders’ bankruptcy filing in 2023 was publicly reported, but details surrounding the case and the specific financial obligations have remained limited. The current lawsuit sheds light on ongoing financial challenges related to his legal expenses.

Representatives for Sanders have not publicly commented on the lawsuit. The law firm declined to provide additional statements beyond the court filings.

Legal experts note that lawsuits over unpaid legal fees are not uncommon, particularly when clients face financial difficulties such as bankruptcy. In such cases, law firms may pursue litigation to recover fees, although the bankruptcy process can complicate collections.

The outcome of this lawsuit could have implications for both Sanders’ financial standing and the law firm’s ability to recoup its costs. Court proceedings are expected to continue in the coming months as both parties present their positions.

This case adds to a series of financial and legal challenges that Sanders has faced in recent years, underscoring the complexities that can arise from high-profile legal disputes and financial distress.

Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available and the case progresses through the legal system.
