Shilo Sanders served with $170,000 lawsuit at Denver bankruptcy trial
The former Colorado safety was reportedly served in court after process servers made at least five unsuccessful attempts to locate him at his Florida residence.
Shilo Sanders was reportedly served with a Texas lawsuit seeking $170,000 in unpaid legal fees while attending his bankruptcy trial in Denver on 31 August, according to Yahoo Sports.
The lawsuit, filed by Barnes & Thornburg LLP, concerns legal work linked to Sanders’ bankruptcy case and an earlier lawsuit brought by John Darjean. Court records reportedly show that process servers made at least five unsuccessful attempts to serve Sanders at his Florida residence in June.
The service reportedly occurred during a five-day bankruptcy trial involving Sanders’ reported debts of about $12 million. His father, Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, said on a weekly coach’s show that Shilo had told him he had been served while in court.
Darjean, a former security guard at Sanders’ school in Dallas, won an $11.89 million default judgment against Sanders in 2022 over alleged injuries from a 2015 assault. The bankruptcy proceedings concern Sanders’ efforts to address the reported debt.
The supplied account does not independently confirm all details of the service proceedings. A verdict in the bankruptcy case was not expected before final written arguments were due after 16 November.
