MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell may be in deep sheet now that two law firms are trying to dump him as a client.

Lindell allegedly owes millions in legal fees to Washington-based Lewin and Lewin and Minnesota law firm Parker Daniels Kibort, according to Politico .

The fees are connected with both firms defense of Lindell in defamation suits by Dominion and Smartmatic , two voting machine companies that the conspiracy-mongering pillowmaker has repeatedly and without evidence accused of fraud, election rigging and conspiracy in the 2020 presidential election.

In a court filing, attorney Andrew Parker said that Lindell has stopped paying invoices on time, and that hes recently resorted to paying just a fraction of whats owed.

At this time, Defendants are in arrears millions of dollars to PDK, Parker said in a legal document obtained by Politico.

Lindell acknowledged to Politico that he has skipped on bills in recent months, and said he understands the attorneys frustration.

These guys were courageous lawyers. They took on the case when nobody else would ... Over the last two months, we havent been able to pay these lawyers at all, Lindell said. They came to me and said we cant go on if we cant get paid. I said, theres no money.

Earlier this summer, Lindell announced that he was auctioning off company equipment to cut costs as retailers like Walmart stopped selling his products in stores.

Hes being hurt by other expenses as well.

In April, Lindell was ordered to pay $5 million to a man who won a Prove Mike Wrong contest by showing that data cited by Lindell as proof that Donald Trump was the legitimate winner of the 2020 election did not, in fact, prove any such thing.

Despite the cash crunch, Lindell told Politico he is trying to line up new attorneys to defend him in the defamation suits.

Not that hes having much luck.

People are going to be afraid to be lawyers, he said. I dont know where I go from here.
