Britney Spears Cannot Hire Attorney

Britney Spears attempt to retain attorney Adam Streisand have been denied due to a court order. Adam said in statement today:

"At the request of Britney Spears, Adam Streisand, a Partner at Loeb & Loeb LLP, met with her yesterday to discuss her legal rights in connection with the conservatorship over her person and estate. Following that meeting, Mr. Streisand learned that the court had issued orders that prevent Ms. Spears from retaining counsel of her own choosing, and on that basis, Mr.Streisand has decided he will not represent her at this time."

Attorney and co-conservator Andrew Wallet, and attorneys Samuel Ingham and Jeryll Cohen, have just arrived in court. Jamie Spears will arrive shortly. The hearing today is to try to get the conservatorship order enforced, so Britney Spears can get the help she needs.

Lurking in the background is Sam Lutfi, who had his new public relations rehab agent, Michael Sands, make a statement this morning:

"Sam has been providing prescription medication, cocktails is what its called for Britney’s medical issues. Sometimes the medication really doesn’t work and you have to change it and you see outrageous behavior displayed in public."

It is illegal for a non-licensed and non-medical professional to administer prescription medications to anyone. Britney needs a doctor or nurse, not some self-proclaimed healer like Sam.
