Who is attorney Steve Farese lawyer of Tuohy family lawyer as Michael Oher files lawsuit against them over conservatorship
Oher alleges that the Tuohy’s misled him about being adopted in 2004. Tuohy used a conservatorship to use his life story for financial gain without his permission.
Later, Oher played football at the institution in Mississippi that the Tuohys attended. He also played football in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens, where he won a Super Bowl.
Who Is Steve Farese?
Steve Farese is the attorney for Tuohy. He said that the complaint is “entirely false, and when the proof comes out, everyone will see the truth.”
He said, “You know, numbers don’t lie. Paper traces are unreliable. And I believe that everyone will understand what is happening when the right time arrives and we disclose the truth.”
A share of the $309 million in income from “The Blind Side” went to the Tuohy family.
However, Oher claimed that the conservatorship had been used by the family to prevent him from obtaining millions of dollars in profit from the well-known movie.
Tuohy Regarded Michael Oher Like A Son
On Monday, in Tennessee court, Oher asked in a lawsuit for the conservatorship to be terminated. Additionally, he demanded a full accounting of the money that was earned in his name.
According to him, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy staged the adoption, which is the focus of the movie, in order to make a profit. Farese disagreed with this and stated that the film was not solely about Oher. The Tuohy family, according to him, “sacrificed” for Oher. Farese said that this story was about a family—about a brother, a sister, a mother, and a father.
Attorney Michael Singer Comes Forward In Support
As per Michael Singer, Oher allegedly tried to blackmail the family by threatening to go public if they didn’t pay him $15 million. Singer is another attorney.
The singer stated that the Tuohys actually opened their home to Oher. Tuohys offered him structure, support, and, most importantly, unconditional love. He has always been treated as a son and one of their three children.
