Celebrity perks...lawyers?

O.J. (you remember him?) Simpson sits in jail, and his Florida house is in foreclosure.  His attorneys are trying to stop the proceedings.  So my question is...if he can afford lawyers, while he serves a prison term, why didn't he pay his mortgage?   Or are the lawyers working gratis since he's "O.J."?  Because he's a "celebrity" kinda? 

Keeping my mortgage paid, and my own lawyers unemployed, on Day 202!
