Celebrity Justice
K-Fed's Lawyer Wants Five for Fighting

Posted Jan 29th 2008 7:55PM by TMZ Staff

K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has filed a motion asking the court to make Britney pay attorney's fees. If the motion is granted, we've learned Brit will be on the hook for more than $500,000 since last July.

Here's how it breaks down: The court has already awarded Kaplan $120,000 for fees earned between July 30 and October 8, 2007. We've learned in today's motion Kaplan is asking for fees in excess of $300,000 for work performed between October 8 and January 24, 2008. On top of that, Kaplan is asking for in excess of $100,000 for fees he will accumulate between now and the end of the custody trial, set for April.

A hearing on Kaplan's request for attorney's fees is set for March 10.

37. Take it to her K-fed . she made her bed now she must lie in it. Let this be a lesson to all stupid girls. If it barks like a dog and acts like one ,eventually it will bite you. K-fed you are the man! If you were a gentelmen and a truly nice guy , Birt would have never given you the time of day. You have just made a case of why men should never be nice guys to women ,particular popular and famous one! May hat is off to you!

38. If you think that's a lot, wait until Brit gets hit with the child support increase request. By that time there will be no way she will get her kids due to her frequent meltdowns and of course, her kids(k-fraud) will need to be kept at the lifestyle she is living, that is according to k-fraud.

39. This bastard has had the meter running from day one and keeps driving aimlessly around the block to keep the meter running. This is why William Shakespeare wished death on all lawyers. This a$$hole needs a slam dunk from the commissopmer and from Brit's lawyers. Unfortunately, I don't think her lawyers are nasty people like Kaplan.

40. This is the reason attorneys are generally despised.

41. K-Federjerk and his slimy lawyer will lose in the end. His lawyer is a joke and K-Federjerk just wants more money.

43. Why do people think he is the bad person in this. No one placed a gun to britney 's head! She wanted this dude. And none of you bozos and a herd of elephants would have been able to stop her ! Waht the F888 is wrong with you silly people. She wanted to be with this dude, ok? So get over it. If you could do that with the losers in your life you would and maybe you do! So stop blaming K-fed . you wish you could find a guy or gilr like britney(cash bag) ! so stop trying to be so moral when it comes to this dumb chick! You go K-fed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

45. Kaplan is testing the waters to see if he can get Britney to pay the lawyers fees for his client. Britney's lawyers will not allow such a thing to happen.

Enough already with kfed and his free meal ticket. Get a job Kfed you worthless slob!
