Britney Spears is feeling "Lucky" after scoring a win in court this week, when a judge ruled she can hire her own attorney. A source explained why Britney is thrilled her lawyer "will fight for her."
Britney Spears is currently able to "Taste the Victory."
In light of her July 14 court appearance, the 39-year-old singer is optimistic about ending her conservatorship, a source close to the matter exclusively tells E! News.
For the first time since her conservatorship began 13 years ago, a judge granted her plea to hire her own private attorney in court. Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor who appears to be well-connected in Hollywood, was her choice. Mathew has been seen with Winona Ryder and Matt Damon at high-profile entertainment events in recent years.
"Britney is doing fantastic," says the source. "She truly believes she is on the verge of liberation."
The insider reveals that having her favorite lawyer has had a significant impact on the pop star's outlook: "All she wanted was a lawyer who believed in her and would fight for her."
"She just wants to get out of the conservatorship," the insider continues, "and for the first time she feels like that might truly happen." "She's in a good mood right now."
