According to a new report put forth by TMZ, Britney Spears has paid Mathew Rosengart’s law firm upwards of $4 million for his services. However, her total bill exceeds $5 million — and continues to grow. The money has accrued since Spears’ conservatorship came to an end, but Rosengart doesn’t seem too concerned. In fact, he’s actually agreed to work pro bono as he continues fighting on Spears’ behalf. Though Rosengart hasn’t spoken out about this reported decision, people closest to him — including some of his former clients — have spoken about his character, which could explain why he’s been sticking his neck out to really help the “…Baby One More Time” singer.
“Matt is a lawyer who gives lawyers a good name. I always feel that his commitment to the law is equaled only to his commitment to friends, family and clients. That said, his wizardly grill-master skills threaten to embody an even higher integrity,” actor Sean Penn, who was previously represented by Rosengart, once told Variety. “On top of everything, Matt is also just a very, very lovely guy. And if you were to ask me what Matt’s real strength is — I think it’s his creativity. And it’s this creativity that enables Matt to implement innovative approaches to whatever case that he decides to take on,” filmmaker Michael Mann, who is also a client of Rosengart’s, told the outlet. It seems safe to say that Spears is in (really) good hands.
