Oksana Grigorieva has hired a total of 39 lawyers to handle her ongoing court battles with Mel Gibson, said TMZ.com. Of the 39, 18 have submitted more than $1 million in legal bills to the court with requests that Gibson pay the tab. One Los Angeles firm, Trope and Trope, reportedly has 17 lawyers assigned to the Russian musician’s custody battle with the actor over their 10-month-old daughter, Lucia. One of Grigorieva’s lawyers, Lisa Bloom, this week disputed the total number of lawyers in Grigorieva’s employ. “She has three, and I’m proud to be one of them,” said Bloom.
