Britney Spears' mother reports Jamie Spear's 'utterly excessive' attorney fee

Lynne Spears is not happy with the amount quoted by Jamie Spearfor his attorney's fee.

According to Britney Spears' mother, four months' fee of $890,000 from Jamie's law firm Holland & Knight is "procedurally and substantively improper."

In the document filed on Monday, Lynne has appealed to the court to review the amount logged into the fee.

"[Lynne] vehemently objects to the inclusion of services related to 'Media Matters:' the national media tour that Mr. Spears' counsel has embarked upon," the document read, adding that the work is "directly contrary to [Britney's] wish for privacy."

"The Conservatee's life has been under a media microscope, and the last thing she wishes, desires, or derives any benefit from is her Conservator's attorney spending [her] money to promote herself in the same media that scrutinizes everything that happens to [Britney]," the document continued.
