After stating that his firm filed a petition to have Jamie removed as 's conservator 12 days later "based on strong, insurmountable legal grounds," Matthew shared that the request was "supported by the law and all parties involved, including Jodi Montgomery, Britney Spears, and her medical team."
The statement continued: "We are pleased that Mr. Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed. It is vindication for Britney.
"We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms. Spears and others."
The attorney added: "We look forward to continuing our vigorous investigation into the conduct of Mr. Spears, and others, over the past 13 years, while he reaped millions of dollars from his daughter's estate, and I look forward to taking Mr. Spears's sworn deposition in the near future."

The statement concluded: "In the interim, rather than making false accusations and taking cheap shots at his own daughter, Mr. Spears should remain silent and step aside immediately."
JAMIE STEPS DOWN
on Thursday.
New court papers filed by 's lawyer state: "There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the Conservator of the Estate.
"And it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears' best interests."
The docs - first obtained by - continue: "Nevertheless, even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests.
"So, even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter's new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator."
Jamie's team then claimed in the court papers: "Regardless of his formal title, Mr. Spears will always be Ms. Spears' father, he will always love her unconditionally, and he will always look out for her best interests."
The 69-year-old also alleged his ex-wife, Lynne Spears, has "little credibility" as Britney "refused" to even see her mom when she was at a mental health facility in 2019.
Jamie said he essentially saved Britney when she was "in crisis, desperately in need of help" 13 years ago, adding, "Not only was she suffering mentally and emotionally, she was also being manipulated by predators and in financial distress. Mr. Spears came to his daughter's rescue to protect her."
