The Chrisleys' Malpractice Lawsuit Against Former Defense Attorneys

Legal team, it’s been a little over a year since our last series on Todd and Julie Chrisley. In our previous episodes on the Chrisleys, we gave a detailed timeline on how everything unfolded, including how they became reality TV stars in the first place. Those episodes will be linked below. But in summary, the Chrisleys conspired with their former business partner to defraud Atlanta area community banks out of more than $30 million in personal loans, and they were fully convicted in a jury trial in 2023. In 2025, Todd and Julie were granted full executive pardons releasing them from federal custody. On the docket this week, we are discussing the federal malpractice lawsuit they filed this past June against their former defense attorneys, Balch & Bingham LLP and Chris Anulewicz. Todd and Julie are alleging that these lawyers failed to provide competent legal representation during their federal jury trial. We go through their complaint, what they are arguing, and point out the flaws in their case, including the use of the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine related to the documents used as evidence to convict them. Chrisley Didn't Know BestThe Chrisley's Sentencing Part IThe Chrisley's Sentencing Part IIThe Chrisley Trial Files: What the Headlines MissedThe Chrisley Trial Files: What the Headlines Missed (Part 2)What’s on the docket?Our previous episodes on the ChrisleysWhat is a loan out companyRecap of federal jury trial and what they were charged withJulie’s “scrapbooking” fraudMark Braddock’s role as an informantTrial testimony updates on members of the Chrisley family (Nanny Faye, Lindsie, Kyle)Thoughts on Teresa Giudice's new interviews The Chrisleys v.
