London
(ANI):
Heather
Mills
has
been
dealt
a
serious
blow
in
her
divorce
battle
with
estranged
hubby
Sir
Paul
McCartney
after
being
dropped
by
her
lawyers.
Top
law
firm
Mishcon
de
Reya
confirmed
that
they
had
parted
ways
with
the
animal
rights
activist,
15
months
after
taking
her
on
as
a
client.
The
news
is
especially
set
to
hit
Mills
hard
as
her
50
million
pounds
divorce
battle
reaches
a
critical
point.
Though
a
spokesperson
did
not
comment
on
the
reasons
behind
the
lawyer's
decision
to
part
ways
with
Mills,
it
is
thought
that
it
came
after
Mills
went
against
advice
about
appearing
on
television
and
berating
Macca.
"We
can
confirm
that
we
no
longer
represent
Heather
Mills
McCartney," the
Daily
Mail
quoted
the
spokesperson,
as
saying.
"Our
strategy
is
that
we
never
talk
about
clients
either
past
or
present,
so
we
can't
say
any
more
than
that."
Mills
was
expected
to
be
represented
by
Sir
Anthony
Julius,
who
boasts
a
track
record
of
court
victories
including
helping
Princess
Diana
secure
her
divorce
against
Prince
Charles.
Mills
was
earlier
dealt
her
blow
when
her
spokesman,
Phil
Hall,
resigned.
