Film financier David Bergstein today sued his former attorney Teri Zimon for $50M, claiming she shared confidential information and aided his creditors in bankruptcy proceedings while working for him. Bernstein claims that Zimon teamed with another of his former attorneys, Susan Tregub, to provide creditors with confidential data, leak negative stories about Bergstein to the media and encourage creditors to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against him. Bergstein’s suit claims that Zimon was aiding his creditors from mid-2009 through January 2010, while in his employ from December 2008 through March 2010. The suit was filed in L.A. Superior Court.


I’d like to know if there is anyone associated with Bergstein that isn’t being sued. And people wonder why folks are wary of getting involved with independent film.
I’d like to know what Bergstein did to his attorneys that would make them go rogue and risk their livelihood and reputation they’ve worked so hard to build in order to cross him.
Sounds like it is juicy.
Pay your bills you whiny deadbeat.
Your own attorney works against you.
Hollywood talent was so eager for buyers, it allowed a guy like this to exist. He was a blight on our industry, and when he wasn’t stealing from indie filmmakers, he was ruining their reputation.
Investors, there are good people in Hollywood that make profitable films. Don’t expect a huge payday, but you can at least get your money back and you get to hob knob with actors on set while you sit in a chair with your name on it. This is a FUN business. Just be wary of any deal that is too good to be true.
Too many dumb people in the business. Too many greedy people in the business. Too many dumb, greedy people in the business.
it seems a game of speed. these cases are good to observe, so we know the system where they flower. it seems to me that there is planty for everyone, since u can not controle all that might be consider yours. for loyers as well

Why is everyone picking on poor David Bergstein? Nothing was his fault ever, he’s the victim, just ask him.
Too bad we’ll never see NAILED because of this guy.
David is a guy who doesnt have the goods – sweet Ron gave the idiot a chance and he could not step up- i think my golf pro would have done a better job- david so ask for daddy for money since you cannot earn it
