He Better Shop Around ...For New Lawyers


Smokey Robinson's gonna need new lawyers to help him fight off his old ones ... who've filed a lawsuit claiming the singer is six-figures in the hole with them.

We've obtained a copy of the suit filed by an L.A. law firm ... accusing the Motown legend of racking up $170,000 in unpaid legal bills.

In the docs, the attorneys at King Holmes Paterno & Berliner say the Motown legend hasn't paid a cent since 2010 ... even though he's continued to use their services.

They claim Smokey owes 'em $64K just for 2013.

A rep for Smokey says the firm negotiated agreements without consulting with Smokey first -- and that's why he's refused to pay.

According to the suit, the firm offered to go to arbitration to resolve the matter ... if Smokey thought he was getting screwed. Obviously, that didn't pan out ... and we're told Smokey now plans to countersue.

Get Ready.

And this is all while he's trying to stop Claudette from earning royalties from the Miracles' works... something tells me this isn't a coincidence. Jesus, Smoke...

The Jacksons and Aretha Franklin were a couple of the other artists who seemingly had a string of debt and law suits that lived with them.

I believe he is still a Christian. He did wait until after Bobby Rogers passed before getting into all of this with Claudette..............

What I meant is that, according to all this stuff going on, he doesn't act like one.

I understand. He needs to pray because he definitely does not need these headaches at his age.
