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

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

136. Britney is an idiot (understatement of the year). She has the resources for the best representation in the country but she chooses to not listen to her attorneys. Stupid and stubborn are a lethal combination. Why does she even bother hiring attorneys if she's not going to listen to them.

BTW, Liz (#125). I've been a paralegal for 20+ years and I can't believe your spelling and grammar. You might want to take English 101. "Others" in "judge other's [sic] for their behavior" is not possessive, hence no apostrophe. And "As a paralegal I seen"? How about "As a paralegal I HAVE seen." "Noone" and "lawfirm" are not one word. And "papparozzi" is spelled "paparazzi." "It's a shame she is going threw [sic] this hard time"? I think you meant "through," not the past tense of throw, which is "threw." Honestly, what's the world coming to when a paralegal doesn't know basic English writing skills?

137. 8. comented that Britney is "A classic case of Brit as a radical neoliberal Dem fem - an IQ of 85 at the most - vote early & often anti Dem."

I guess you don't want to remember that Britney supported our bone-headed presendent's invasion of Iraq, So you're right about how dumb she is-- but wrong about everything else

139. Geez 138 comments in 18 hours and counting. That's the key to Britney's purported "success."

Her catastrophic 2007 VMA performance shows she's no longer professional. Celebrity fuels her livelihood, so now that she can't generate it with fame, infamy suffices ... or so she believes.

She's wrong. She's Britney Spears, but that doesn't give her a special dispensation from reality.

Her lawyers have bailed, her career's a mess and her personal life makes Ma Barker look like mother of the year. The train wreck part of her life is over, with another one on the horizon.

140.

It must be truly awful dealing with Britney if a law firm will voluntarily back away from a trough full of money. For 3 firms to back away is mind-boggling. You know they were left with no other alternative because seeing all those dollars left behind on a table has to be killing them.

I can hear them wailing and their cries are truly piteous. Ha-ha-ha!

141. This girl's life is a complete and irretrievable mess. A running joke that stopped being funny a long time ago. Even her lawyers don't wan't anything more to do with her. Maybe we should all take a hint....

143. What a waste of air Brit is. She is really begging the court to take those boys away. She does not want them but she does not want K-Fed to have them either. She should sign away her rights to those boys, get her tubes tied or sew her legs closed and go away as no one cares about her anymore as she is a train wreck and does not want help. Sick of Brit !!!!!!!

145. I UNDERSTOOD SHE WAS TO HAVE A COURT APPOINTED PERSON WITH HER AT ALL TIMES WHEN SHE HAS THE BABIES,DID SHE THROW HER OUT TOO??
I ALSO READ JAYDEN WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AS WELL. VERY TRAGIC SITUATION.
SOME JUDGE SHOULD PUT HER MONEY IN TRUST FOR HER AND HAVE A COURT APPOINTED PERSON GIVE HER AN ALLOWANCE. IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE MONEY TO USE JUST TO PISS AWAY, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP HER. RIGHT NOW THERE IS NOTHING HUMBLE IN BRIT. MY HEART ACHES FOR THE BABIES.

147. I feel so sorry for those kids...even a little for Brit. I mean how could anyone stand all those paparazzi EVERYWHERE?? The kids are growing up thinking it's normal to have screaming frenzied people follow them all over. In the most recent video you see the youngest closing his eyes to the bright flashes of camera lights...so Sad!

148. Can you blame them? Who would want to try to defend a client who singlehandedly destroys their case? No one wants to be the attorney who lost Brittney's kids for her and that's what her PR machine will spin once the inevitable happens.
