Britney Spears’ new lawyer ‘is POSITIVE he will free her from conservatorship’ as he ‘only takes on cases he will win’
BRITNEY Spears’ new lawyer Matthew Rosengart has said he is “confident” he will free the singer from her “abusive” conservatorship amidst her second court hearing, a source has exclusively claimed to The Sun.
The pop star’s conservatorship will be discussed again Wednesday, July 14th in order to address further petitions against her appointed guardianship.
A source close to Britney‘s new lawyer Matthew Rosengart alleged he is “confident” that he will be able to free her from her situation.
They claimed: “He’s absolutely confident he will get Britney out of this mess. He would not have taken this case if he wasn’t positive they’d win.
“He knows it’s going to be a challenge but he fully believes they have enough evidence to prove Britney no longer needs a conservatorship.
“He has been intensely preparing for today’s hearing and is ready to make some moves to get this process started. To him and Britney, it’s now a matter of when, not if,” they revealed.
Return to court
Britney returned to court on Wednesday to continue her fight in ending the “abusive” conservatorship run by her father Jamie, 69 – although it’s been said she will not personally address the court like she did during her hearing three weeks ago.
Judge Brenda Penny has led the charge in considering Britney’s request for new representation, along with several other petitions in the case.
However, Britney will most likely not speak in this hearing after making a series of claims in her June 23rd trial, US Weekly revealed.
Britney’s message
On her first court date, the singer delivered a powerful testimony about her “abusive” conservatorship and how her father and others should be “sued” for her mistreatment.
The mother of two made bold claims about how she felt “enslaved” by both her father and her other conservators, and though Jamie stepped away from the role in 2019, Jodi Montgomery has also pushed her to extremes.
She told the courtroom: “I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. You know, fake it till you make it.
“But now I’m telling you the truth. OK? I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry. It’s insane. And I’m depressed. I cry every day.
“The only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking,” she continued.
“Making anyone work against their will, taking all their possessions away — credit card, cash, phone, passport — and placing them in a home where they work with the people who live with them,” she alleged.
Out with the old
Only July 6th, Britney’s lawyer Sam Ingham resigned from his role after she accused him of withholding information.
The Toxic singer claimed Sam never told her she could request to end the conservatorship, though he later denied the allegations.
Prior to Wednesday’s court appearance, Britney discussed whether she would be assigned a new lawyer by the judge, or if she would be able to hire her own representation.

The performer’s lead conservator Jodi Montgomery previously asked the court to “hire a guardian for the singer and provide her with 24/7 security,” to assist in the process.
However, Britney’s mother Lynn asserted her daughter should be allowed to hire her own attorney, saying that she “should no longer be held to the 2008 standard, whereby she was found to ‘not have the capacity to retain counsel.’”
Britney was granted the ability to hire her own lawyer in time for her second hearing.
