Spears' Lawyers Say Brit Ain't No Cash Register

Posted Feb 25th 2008 5:10PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained documents filed today in Federal court in the Britney Spears conservatorship case and her lawyers have made it clear -- Brit's not the Bank of America.

Jamie Spears' lawyers claim attorney Jon Eardley, who filed the motion to remove the case to Federal court, has triggered a flurry of legal moves that have already cost Brit more than $40 grand.

For his part, attorney Jon Eardley claims he was retained by Britney on February 12 and has spoken with her on several occasions. He says the last time she attempted to call him, "the telephone was taken away from her, and the number was disconnected the next day."

Eardley says Brit has "never been and is not now on comfortable terms with her live-in father conservator" and claims that he is "concerned for the emotional and physical safety of Britney."

106. Jamie is saying that he has had to spend over $40,000 of Britney's money fighting Eardley and his motions in federal court. Nothing to do with paying Eardley any money. Big time attorneys can easily charge $400+ per hour and there are a lot of attorneys involved in the case. Obviously, Britney won't have to pay any of Eardley's fees and the court should order Eardley to pay her expenses because it is publicly known that she can't hire an attorney.

109. See the vultures circle the wounded Brittney Spears. Jon Eardley is just another of the blood suckers trying taking advantage of a mentally imbalanced Spears. If is obvious to anyone (shaved head, attacking car with umbrella) that Brittney Spears is a mental case who, most probably can not manage her own affairs now or ever.
