Musician John Fogerty says negligence and a breach of fiduciary duty by his former attorney Kenneth Sidle cost him more than a million dollars when he settled a dispute over royalties with his Berkeley, Calif.-based record company, Fantasy Inc. Beyond recompense for what the musician says he lost in the settlement, the suit seeks $100,000 that Fogerty says he had to spend on new counsel to "salvage the wreckage." He also asks that Sidle's firm be ordered to disgorge $50,000 of what he paid the firm.
