Father of Patriots QB Brady Sued in Insurance Agency Case

November 16, 2008

A Massachusetts man has filed a federal lawsuit against the father of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for allegedly failing to pay him about $600,000 in sales commissions and business expenses.

Richard Vasquez, of Weston, claimed in a suit that Tom Brady Sr. convinced him to forgo $415,000 worth of commissions by promising to make him an equity owner in his San Mateo, Calif.-based company, Thomas Brady & Associates Insurance Services Inc.

But that never occurred, and he was later fired.

Vasquez also claims the elder Brady failed to reimburse him for about $180,000 in business expenses.

Vasquez is suing Brady for breach of contract. He is seeking triple damages, about $1.8 million, and attorneys’ fees.

Tom Brady Sr. has denied Vasquez’s allegations.
