Richard Scrushy seems to spar with his own lawyers almost as much as he brawls with the government.

The fees, the firm said in court filings, dated back to an eight-month period beginning in March 2003 when the firm, led by partner Jonathan Rose, worked to help Scrushy unfreeze assets seized by the government. But Scrushy dropped Jones Day from his legal team shortly after the Justice Department unsealed a multicount indictment against him on charges of securities fraud.
