Spears’ divorce attorney Laura Wasser stepped down on Sep 17, on the grounds that the singer was a 'problem client,’ following which she hired attorney Melvin Goldsman on Sep 19.
But the ‘Toxic’ singer is considering firing Goldsman, according to high-profile lawyer Sorrell Trope, who claims that he has been chosen as Spears’ new lawyer in Spears’ complicated custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Trope's office revealed that the firm was in the process of being retained by Spears.
"Yes, it's true Ms. Spears quit Melvin Goldsman's firm, but we haven't been officially retained yet. The paperwork has not been signed, and it has to have our firm's, Goldsman's and Ms. Spears' signatures. I anticipate it will be signed [Wednesday],” E! Online quoted Trope, as saying.
Meanwhile, in the latest court hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon ordered Spears to undergo twice-weekly random drugs testing.
Gordon said that based on evidence presented, he considered Spears to be a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of controlled substances.
