"It’s telling he still will not back down. I look forward to Mr. Spears’ deposition and pursuing that further."
He continued: "Britney absolutely knows that without her fans, this day would not be here.
"Britney’s impact has showcased all around the world and because of her, people in conservatorships from New York to California who are abused by conservators like Jamie Spears will have a spotlight shined down on them.
"She credits her fans for her freedom and is eternally grateful."
The lawyer concluded: "Today was an emotional day that was a long time coming and with all due respect, if you would excuse me I now have a very important and exciting phone call to make to my client.”

BRITNEY IS FREE
Britney's conservatorship officially ended after 13 years without requiring any further mental evaluation as Judge Brenda Penny ruled in favor of the pop star.
On Friday, Judge Penny ruled that Britney's conservatorship be terminated, giving the hitmaker control of her life for the first time since before 2008.
In September, Britney's case returned to a Los Angeles courtroom where Judge Penny made a number of bombshell rulings, following her father Jamie's decision to step down from the conservatorship the month prior.
She ruled to suspend Jamie from the conservatorship, however, it did not mean the end of the conservatorship altogether.
Speaking in court, Judge Brenda Penny said at the time: "Based on what I read in the filings, and I read everything. I do believe the suspension of Jamie Spears is in the best interest of Britney Spears.
"The current situation is unattainable. The court finds the toxic environment Jamie Spears has created needs to be removed today."
Following the judge's decision, a temporary conservator was put in Jaime's place for about a month.
'READY FOR VENGEANCE'
A member of Britney's legal team told The Sun ahead of the hearing on Friday: "Britney and Mathew fully believe that if all goes according to plan, she will be a free woman by the end of the day.
"She has been emotional all week and was crying last night both happy tears and tears of joy. I think she doesn’t fully believe it’s coming to an end yet after so many years of pushing and fighting.
They added, "She keeps saying “I can’t believe it’s really happening” and I don’t think it will sink in until after the hearing.”
The source added that the singer is feeling ready for justice after spending 13 years of her life under the extremely restrictive conservatorship.
