Laura Wasser seems to be trying to rehab her image

Wasser and the Hillbilly Clan of Criminals may have started collaborating together much earlier than commonly thought.

I would argue that the chain of event began as far back as November of 2006.

 

I agree.  "The Marketing of Britney" article just crystalized this for me.  I wonder if digging into Larry's career moves between 2004 and 2006 would reveal anything about his desperation and willingness to frame Britney's breakdown.  

I've spent more time than I want to admit trying to figure out where John McMahon of the Giving Back Fund vs Rudolph & Beer lawsuit is now without much to show for it.   However, I am about 85% sure that Larry Rudolph, John McMahon, Jordan Belfort (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=125417082202347 mentions Larry around 6:47) all graduated from Bayside High School in Bayside, Queens, NYC in 1981.  If anyone out there has a yearbook from then, I'd love to confirm this.  John McMahon didn't really do anything especially illegal, but he was personally named in the lawsuit by the Giving Back Fund because he acted like an a.ss.hole to the charity's director. I think John was a personal friend of Larry's from back in the day. 

"Mr. Rudolph spoke with Mr. Pollick and insisted that GBF hire Mr. McMahon , a man with little to no charitable organization or fundraising experience , at GBF's cost." https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_-WbVyy2rG0NLpMsSg7iqAPSssZE9XF6/view?usp=sharing

I'm getting the impression that Larry found the Britney Spears Foundation to be more trouble than it was worth.  It was useful while he was still a part of Rudolph & Beer, but when he and Beer split in 2003, I think Larry was happy to pawn that off to the next attorney.

 this is Larrys daughter who is surprisingly not monetized, scroll down to 2016 and she's nipping out with Kim Kardashian herself.    This John guy seems older than Larry, bayside is a small and very rough community if you don't leave you gotta be OK with crime.  https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/john-mcmahon_id_G2061324134595225502

I read somewhere very early on in the CON that Harvey Levin was also chummy with Blair Berk.

Wasser and Berk appeared to be working together...Perhaps with Wasser handing off divorce dirt to Berk to help establish the CON?

Wasser and Berk worked on Depp.  fun context https://www.tmz.com/2014/01/16/ceelo-green-blair-berk-felony-****-case/

I bought a few more of the divorce docs because I'm nosy.

I'm starting to understand how Wasser screwed up in 2007.  She just happened to go on vacation from August 17-September 3rd 2007. 

She submitted a request to reschedule a hearing on 9/17/2007.  Mark Vincent Kaplan submitted an objection to this on the same day.

In Kaplan's opposition, he fully admits that Wasser's absence gave him a reason to accumulate more billable hours and refers to Britney as the "monied party".  Kaplan also is resentful of the fact that he is expected to wait until Wasser's 17 day vacation ends before he will be able to schedule dates for depositions. 

From Kaplan's objection: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NzIogPfLKRSvwQo8qpaX4tiYq2qP8bWt/view?usp=sharing

The next thing Wasser submits (listed in the docket) is JOINT APPLICATION TO SEAL SECOND FURTHER JUDGMENT; DECLARATION OF MICHAEL BROURMAN https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G4a3OtxoRFieHb9xIdApo8xDm-aPKlA-/view?usp=sharing

Which seemingly has nothing to do with Kaplan's issue of delaying the 9/17 hearing.

I have noticed that these high priced California attorneys excel at going on vacation, peek her insta - I think she gave us the finger.

She was definitely giving her client Britney the finger by vacationing without anyone else at the firm up to speed with the case.  Apparently Dennis Wasser was the only other one who knew enough to represent Britney but he was ALSO on vacation at the same time. No wonder B wanted to fire Wasser.

her firm is huge and they have phones, maybe the finger was her being sore for not being invited to Britneys wedding.  Let me guess, she and her dad ran into TMZ on their way out of court?

Thinking on this further... they would have had to leak this before the 17th to have it out on the 17th, twitter bearly existed reported to multiple outlets, including print I remember seeing it on the cover of post.  They needed lead time to print.  It was a Monday, someone in that office works weekend.

"On Friday, August 17th, 2007, I inquired of Mr. Wasser in regard to his response to the proposed conditions for continuance and he said his office may no Ionger be representing Petitioner and he would get back to me on Monday, August 20, 2007."

I wonder if the news outlets took that and ran with it?

thats just his statement, when whora talks there is always a photoshoot.  they toss people from attorney to attorney in that firm and I'm sure it was a big firm before Laura was out of trade school.  I saw some reporting that the whole family was in Switzerland for a few years, clearly these people are dedicated to their work so I wonder what happened proceeding that...

So let me get this straight.

- LW goes on vacation from August 17 to September 3, 2007.

(which ok, fine, everybody's entitled to summer vacation but do you honestly wanna do that while in the middle of a big case like this with a big client like this? Or am I being petty?)

- MVK sets Britney's deposition for August 20, knowing LW isn't available, and Britney doesn't show up to it

(a normal thing, I guess, but something that he -and the press- would later weaponize against her)

- On August 27, 2007 (so, while on vacation) LW files for a reschedule of the September 17 "order to show cause" hearing.

- On September 17, 2007, the initial date of the hearing, Laura Wasser allegedly resigns from representing Britney, and TMZ and other outlets quickly report on that (again, weaponizing it against Britney).

 

Did Laura really leave Britney, or is there a chance she was fired because well, her lawyering wasn't that good to her client? Is it possible that LW, being the 'disso queen', flipped the story and told it to tmz and others as if Britney was the problem? I realize it's very possible B was a difficult client at the time and it might have happened just as it was reported, but my mindset right now is on doubting everything LW says, so I'm just playing an alternative scenario in my head.

I think Brit was trying to do what she needed to do!  Here she is leaving  Wasser's office on August 15th. 

https://www.x17online.com/2007/08/britney_visits_her_attorney

 

August 15th - Her parents were allegedly siding with Kfed https://www.x17online.com/2007/08/whose_side_are_they_on_1

August 14th -  Jamie meeting with lawyers https://www.x17online.com/2007/08/jamie_spears_legal_eagle 

 

And I don't think it's petty to be mad at Wasser for going on a 17 day vacation right in the middle of the divorce/custody storm.  She couldn't have chosen a more vulnerable time!! And no one else at her office was informed of the details of the case enough to take her place :sad_britney_ftr_for_the_record:

August 2007 was a key time in this whole mess, wasn't it? 

Also, how is this lady considered one of the top hollywood lawyers? It looks like she did a shockingly poor job with Britney. I didn't want to go back to the rabbit hole but once again here I am, convinced she set her up.
