AH Loses ‘Time’s Up’
Attorney Roberta Kaplan
In Johnny Depp Case
Description:
Amber Heard’s legal team just lost a very high profile attorney, after ‘Time’s Up’ co-founder Roberta Kaplan filed to withdraw from the defamation case filed against the actress by Johnny Depp.
In new legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Kaplan along with several other attorneys filed asking a judge to approve them to dropping out of the case, and say that Amber has ‘endorsed’ the decision.
According to the filing, “The undersigned moves for entry of an order permitting Robert Kaplan, John Quinn, Julie Fink, Davida Brook to withdraw as counsel of record for Defendant Amber Laura Heard.
The document says she is leaving the case, based on the “grounds” that are stated below…
Amber Heard will have a Virgina attorney leading the case in that state from now on, saying “In addition to the undersigned, who is remaining in this matter as counsel of record to Ms. Heard, Ms. Heard has retained the services of another trial counsel licensed in Virginia, Elaine Bredehoft.”
The document continued, “All Withdrawing Counsel are currently admitted pro hac vice. Ms. Heard will still be represented by the undersigned Virginia counsel.”
Adam Waldman, doesn’t seem to be convinced of the reasoning behind the change in counsel, and tells us, “For years, #TimesUp and others inexplicably hitched their wagons to Amber Heard’s abuse hoax. Ms. Heard’s lawyers, one of whom co-founded the #TimesUp Legal Defense Fund, have now apparently unhitched from Ms Heard’s long-disproven frauds. We intend to discover why.”
