Jamie's Lawyer Denies "Hostile Takeover"

Jamie SpearsAttorney Jeryll Cohen, who reps Jamie, submitted a declaration to the conservatorship commissioner, claiming Brit's divorce lawyers got it all wrong when they assumed Jamie was a control freak.

In the declaration, Cohen says Ron Rale, a high-powered lawyer at Trope and Trope, "accused Mr. Spears of attempting 'nothing more than a hostile takeover of our client for improper purposes.'"

Cohen says Jamie was looking "for the least ugly way to save this young woman's life, bring her back to her babies, and keep her safe from predators."

76. Ron Rale is good friends with Howard K. Stern, and defended him after Anna Nicole died. Ron Rale and the law firm of Trope and Trope should just shut up and let this family heal and bond together, so Britney can get better. This law firm has not had one single success since defending Britney anyway---they have failed every time in court. I hope when she is better, she fires them.

78. I knew Ron Rale would be involved in this mess & now the snake has slithered out of the grass. He keeps good company with buddies like Howard K. Stern & Sam. Of course he's going to try to put the parents out of the picture so he & Sam can take over Britney's money & then she'll end up dead just the way Ron & Howard plotted to get rid of Anna Nicole & her son.

79. Ron Rale don't you thing it's a little early to be trying this same plot again. This is the same part you played in the Anna Nicole Smith story & people are not stupid.

I HOPE THE JUDGE THROWS THE BOOK!

81. Funny how amember of Britneys "Attorney Team" also, was involved with another high profile death/drug case. Sounds like there may be something to Jamie and Lynn's fears.

86. HELLO! IS THIS SITUATION SO REMINISCENT OF ANNA NICOLE? RON RALE IS THE ATTY INVOLVED IN THIS MESS SOMEHOW? UH, HE'S THE SNAKE THAT REPRESENTED HOWARD STERN TO PROVE HE WAS THE FATHER OF SOMEONE ELSES BABY. THE SPEARS FAMILY BETTER WATCH OUT!

87. Oh Ron Rale, Should have known. Bet he was giving Sam advice on how to crush up her pills and keep her under control. Wonder if he helped Lufti set up off shore accounts since her estate has dwindled from an estimated 100 million last year to around 40 million.

Posted at 1:23PM on Feb 6th 2008 by She needs help

88. Ron Rale / Trope and Trope + Howard K. Stern = Dead Anna Nicole + dead son Daniel

Ron Rale / Trope and Trope + Osama Bin Lutfi = almost Dead Britney + no children

Please Mr. Spears, fire those lwayers before it is too late. Good job getting rid of Osama!

89. F' OFF YOU GODDAM 'LAWYERS' you are nothing but sharks - you give not a damn abt this girl LEAVE HER FAMILY ALONE how can you vultures prove you have her interests at heart over her father.

90. Ron Rale has probably been working with Sam to steal Britney's money & transfer it to off shore accounts. Sam is also friends with Britney's business manager. I bet this shady bunch have stolen nearly all this poor girls money. Last year her wealth was estimated at $125 million now reports have it dwindled down to $40 million.
