Britney Spears too Much for Trope & Trope

Law Firm News

The law firm representing Britney Spears in her custody battle over her two kids has quit, claiming the pop star was "impossible" to work with.

The law firm Trope and Trope was Spear's third legal team in her battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, who has won custody of the couple's two children due to Spear's erratic behaviour.

There has been a breakdown in communications between Spears and the law firm, "making further representation of her interests impossible", the firm said in court documents.

A court hearing to decide whether Trope and Trope will be relieved of their duties has been set for Feb 4.
The next hearing in the custody battle for Britney's sons is set for Feb 19.

The legal resignation came after Spears missed another court-ordered deposition with Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan to undergo cross-examination about her parenting abilities.

Last month she called in sick to a similar meeting just hours after she was caught on camera at a nightclub.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
