Britney Spears told to pay $400,000 in lawyers' fees

April 18 2008

Britney SpearsA Los Angeles court on Thursday ordered payment of nearly $400,000 to the attorneys involved with Britney Spears' conservatorship case.

All the attorneys have been working on the case for less than three months.

There are two conservators of Spears' financial, medical and legal decisions: Andrew Wallet and her father, Jamie. Wallet, who has not been paid yet, will be given $100,000. Jamie is being paid $2,500 per week.

Samuel Ingham, Spears' court-appointed attorney, will continue to receive $10,000 a week, Commissioner Reva Goetz ruled.

Jamie's attorney, Geraldine Wyle, will get $175,000; trust attorney Clark Byam will be paid $22,500; and Stacy Phillips, Britney's new divorce lawyer, will receive $75,000.

The singer's father and Wallet remain in control of her life until a July 31 hearing.
