Britney replaces latest lawyer    ·    September 19th, 2007

The revolving door at Britney Spears’s camp continues to spin: the singer is now in the process of replacing her latest attorney.

High-profile divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope, who has represented Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage, tells People mag he’ll soon work for Spears, 25, in her bitter custody dispute with Kevin Federline.

Trope will take over for Melvin Goldsman, who was named as Laura Wasser’s replacement Monday after Wasser stepped down. Shortly after Wasser left, Spears’s manager also quit.

“Yes, it’s true Ms. Spears quit Melvin Goldsman’s firm, but we haven’t been officially retained yet,” Trope says. “The paperwork has not been signed, and it has to have our firm’s, Goldsman’s and Ms. Spears’s signatures. I anticipate it will be signed [Wednesday].”
