Jessica Simpson's father, Joe, is embroiled in a legal battle with a California businessman claiming he is owed a $12 million commission.
TMZ reported that Jeffrey Bowler filed a lawsuit claiming he helped connect the Simpsons to a buyer who ultimately bought a majority stake in the singer's successful fashion company.
Bowler says he and Joe Simpson had made a verbal agreement over the phone a decade ago saying Bowler would receive a 10 percent finder's fee if he located a buyer.
The deal was apparently never put in writing.
