LOS ANGELES - The attorneys who successfully defended Michael Jackson against child molestation charges have filed a $341,000 claim against the singer's estate.
Court records show attorneys Thomas Mesereau Jr. and Susan Yu filed the claim in Jackson's estate case on Friday.
The attorneys defended Jackson against charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at his Neverland Ranch in 2003. A jury acquitted the pop superstar of 14 charges in the case.
According to the filing, the fees are for work done between July 2005 and February 2006.
Jackson died June 25 in Los Angeles.
