A month after he was sued, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has filed a countersuit against former adviser Royce West, claiming West and his business associates breached the professional and fiduciary duties owed to him.
According to the lawsuit, West, a Texas state senator, "capitalized on Bryant's notoriety and hard-earned success to improperly line his own pocket and those of his business associates."
The suit claims West and his law firm, West & Associates L.L.P. received more than $300,000 in compensation from Bryant while West "simultaneously was breaching his fiduciary duties and other obligations to Bryant.
