New here... my understanding is that Ingham was court appointed, my experience is that good, experienced attorneys aren't available for court appointment - particularly in CA where there are plenty of attorneys to go around. Does anyone know how long the court appointment was for? I think it's unusual that have an appointment go on for year. I was working in entertainment in 08 and remember, vividly the press when Brit was "fired" by her attorney, Laura Wasser, people in the music industry saw this as a sleazy move. I'm certain that it was a mess when Ingham was appointed and I think he was out of depth, and was unable to untangle the spaghetti of the conservatorship. What I don't understand is how the appointment lasted 10 years, did Britney have no choice that entire time?

I wonder if I'm missing any other court dates from this time period? I'm searching for when Ingham stopped making power moves. Jamie Lynn's texts to Britney may help here...Or may have at least caused Britney to start plotting against Team Lynne. ===================== Nov. 6, 2020 - Court-appointed attorney Samuel Ingham files an objection to the $308,974.51 paid to Tri Star in December 2019 to hit their "floor of $500k a year."

Jamie Lynn says she feels that Ingham purposely left his petition to remove Jamie full of holes because he is working to the benefit of Lynne and not Britney. She also says Ingham may have toured the mental health facility that Britney was forced into in January of 2019.
