Two of Michael Jackson's former attorneys have filed a 341,000 dollar claim against the late singer's estate.

Court records show Thomas Mesereau Jr and Susan Yu - who successfully defended the King of Pop against child molestation charges - filed the claim in Jackson's estate case last week.

The attorneys defended Jackson against charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at his Neverland Ranch in 2003. A jury acquitted the pop superstar of 14 charges in the case.

According to the filing, the fees are for work done between July 2005 and February 2006.
