Courtroom Update: Is Kaplan's Fee Fair?

Britney Spears VKAPLAN100107_01.jpg
Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is currently making a case in court for his whopping half-a-million dollar fee to be paid in full.

He had asked that the Commisioner to close today's session to discuss the bill (what's he got to hide?), but the Commisioner wasn't buying it and the court stayed open.

Kaplan argued it was actually 8 emergency hearings called by Britney Spears that he had to attend which boosted his fees, NOT his multiple tv appearances (which he says he didn't bill for).

Kaplan also had to spend extra court time and billing time dealing with her drug testing issues, her 5150 issues and her temporary restraining orders, so he's arguing that his full fee should be paid by Brit.

Stay tuned for more updates...



All of a sudden a custody case has turned into a battle over Brit's money...or was it always this way?

Sounds valid to me. After all, she brought these events on herself.

Sounds valid to me, too. She pushed these issues - did she think she wouldn't have to pay for services rendered?

Just a guess, but one wonders exactly how much she has left. Bet it's a lot less than what has been reported. If that's the case, and if I was owed money by her, I'd be doing everything to collect before there's nothing left in her bank account!

How much do you think Adnan and Sam got off Britney so far?? Duh? U guys are a scream....... REALLY.

who cares how much either got. If she is found to have been unfit during the time period she gave them money, she can always sue them. If not, easy come easy go!

She did this all to herself. Now she has to pay for it!

NO SYMPATHY.

Stop making stupid comments about the legal bills!!! Of course, the bills are high because Britney refused to comply with the court orders and not showing up, thereby dragging this out. Plus these stupid emergency sessions she called because she wanted the kids back (and then she wouldnt even shows up), and yet she wouldnt even comply with the rules set.

The legal bills are definitely higher than they needed to be because of Britney!!!

Talk about biased reporting. Britney paid her OWN lawyers $600,000 for the same time period. Funny how X17 didn't mention that.



Posted by: justin's glad he dodged that 'bullet'... errrrr, *MiSsiLe*!!! =)

you 'PLAY', you 'PAY'.

guess she's gonna have to cut back on her BMW & chandelier shopping for a few months to cover the bill... BIG WHOOP!

She shouldn't have to pay to get screwed by Kevin and Kaplan.



Posted by: justin's glad he dodged that 'bullet'... errrrr, *MiSsiLe*!!! =)

She's the SELFISH FUCKING MORON who filed for full custody when splitting from kevin. Kevin did what any good father would do & fought for his kids.

if she weren't an UNFIT, CHILD ENDANGERING, NEGLECTFUL, ABUSIVE SHREW who actually showed up for her courtdates (especially the lame emergency mtgs she called) she wouldn't be paying...

too bad, soooo sad, she's a STUPID VILE BITCH & STUPID VILE BITCHES PAY!

His good cause ya right. Just pocket the money for unfair amount. Got to take as much blood out of a person. For K Fed get a job. Britney won't have any money to recovery from.

You couldn't sue if court order for the payment.







This part is optional!
