Kanye West fires lawyer

msn.com:

Kanye West has fired his divorce lawyer. The 'Stronger' hitmaker will no longer be represented by Chris Melcher after parting ways with the attorney just days before a hearing is due to take place on Wednesday (02.

03. 22) in connection with his estranged wife Kim Kardashian's request to be declared legally single. According to TMZ, the relationship with Kanye and Chris had become "extremely difficult", with little communication between them and it seems the 44-year-old rapper may have been a difficult client to work with because at times, he had said he wanted to settle things with Kim, and at others, he expressed a desire to put up a fight.

Chris is the fourth divorce lawyer Kanye has fired and he has now brought in Samantha Spector to argue his position in court.

Samantha recently represented Nicole Young in her lengthy and bitter divorce battle with Dr. Dre - and the music producer was represented by Kim's lawyer, Laura Wasser.
