LOS ANGELES, CA Three weeks after Britney Spears impassioned court appearance demanding an end to the conservatorship that has governed her life for 13 years, a Los Angeles judge Wednesday approved the singer s request to hire her own attorney rather than have one appointed for her.
The decision by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny comes following the resignation of Spears longtime court-appointed counsel, Samuel D. Ingham III. Ingham submitted court papers following last month s court hearing in which the singer blasted her family and virtually everyone involved in the conspiracy, saying she has been subjected to conditions akin to slavery and sex-trafficking.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Three weeks after Britney Spears impassioned court appearance demanding an end to the conservatorship that has governed her life for 13 years, a Los Angeles judge today approved the singer s request to hire her own attorney rather than have one appointed for her.
The decision by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny, still subject to a formal order, comes following the resignation of Spears longtime court-appointed counsel, Samuel D. Ingham III. Ingham submitted court papers after last month s court hearing in which the singer blasted her family and virtually everyone involved in the conservatorship, saying she has been subjected to conditions akin to slavery and sex-trafficking.

In her attempts to force the termination of the strict legal arrangement controlling her life and career, Britney Spears has enlisted the help of a high-powered Hollywood lawyer.
Mathew S Rosengart was confirmed as the singer’s new representative on Wednesday, attending the latest hearing in Los Angeles.
He replaced Samuel Ingham, the man appointed by the court in 2008 to serve Spears but who she criticised last month for not doing enough to help her end the conservatorship.
