An attorney for Sugarland has released a statement that a lawsuit by Kristen Hall, one of the band's founders who left in 2005, is "totally baseless and without merit." Hall filed a lawsuit on July 29 claiming she is owed $1.5 million, plus interest, from revenue stemming from an unwritten agreement with the band at the time of her departure. The statement from Gary Gilbert also says that, "Among other factual inaccuracies suggested in the complaint, it is indisputable that Ms. Hall left the group voluntarily and on her own accord. We are absolutely confident that this matter will be resolved in favor of Jennifer and Kristian."
