Brit's Lawyers Will Quit -- She's Impossible!

Posted Jan 2nd 2008 6:30PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Britney's latest set of lawyers has bitten the dust.

The high-powered firm of Trope and Trope filed legal papers today asking to withdraw as Brit's hired guns in her custody dispute with K-Daddy.

In the legal papers, attorney Tara Scott from Trope and Trope wrote, "There has been a breakdown in communications between [Britney] and Trope and Trope making further representation of her interests impossible." Ding dang wha?!

No word on whether Brit has a new lawyer.

You may recall, disso-queen Laura Wasser quit Brit last year as well. Representing a popwreck can be a bitch!

UPDATE: Sources tell TMZ the reason Trope and Trope withdrew is because Britney just didn't listen to her lawyers' advice, and her behavior was generally sinking her case.

8.

A classic case of Brit as a radical neoliberal Dem fem - an IQ of 85 at the most - vote early & often anti Dem.

9. Tsk. I thought attorneys would represent anyone for a price. Maybe she "forgot" to pay them.

13. More like "Earth to Brit" - time to come in for a landing - does anyone still care about her at all - I have no interest at all in her welfare.
