Brit Takes It In the End

Posted Apr 17th 2008 5:25PM by TMZ Staff

The commissioner in the Britney Spears conservatorship case has just ordered that a sh*tload of fees be paid to various lawyers in the case -- and Brit, of course, will foot the bill.

The Commish has ordered that court-appointed lawyer Sam Ingham can get up to $10,000 a week through July 31. What the hell is wrong with hiring Jacoby and Meyers?

But that's just the beginning. Andrew Wallet, a co-conservator, just got the green light for up to $100,000. And the Luce Forward law firm will get up to $175,000, and that's just for their work through March 31.

Clark Byam, another attorney, will get $22,500. Stacy Phillips, the lawyer repping Brit in the family law case, will get up to $75,000 for work through March 31.

And Brit pays it all. Ding dang, y'all. Where's Shakespeare when ya need him?

5. This , of course , is legal extortion and should be look at by elected officials . The court appoited lawyer should receive nominal wages , no whre near 10,000 a week . Kaplan (k fed attornry) got away with 400,000 and counting. The court should be strongly scrutinized.

7. Yes, stupidity is expensive. But why so many lawyers? It takes more than one to present a case these days or what?
If there's a court appointed lawyer, why are the rest of the vultures still milling about?
NO wonder they're trying to get her back to work and getting her gigs on low budget shows.

13. Well, she should have acted like a respectable mother instead of childishly flashing her crotch. She needs to pay for putting her poor children and many others through hell. Grow up, Britney Spears.
