A new court filing reveals that Nicki's longtime attorney abruptly withdrew from the case...
From US
On November 3, a business management company, The Northstar Group, wrote a letter to the court explaining that Minaj had recently hired them.
A rep for The Northstar Group asked the court for additional time for Minaj, 42, to respond to the lawsuit brought by a fan named Tameer Peak.
The letter said Minaj needed time to “retain and onboard” a new defense lawyer following the “recent and sudden withdrawal of” her “litigation counsel.”
The Northstar Group said it became “aware of this lawsuit for the first time” last week based on information provided by Minaj’s “then-litigation counsel, Judd Burstein.”
The rep said, “That same day, Mr. Burstein abruptly withdrew entirely from his representation of [Minaj and her company], without giving any prior notice. [Minaj and her company] intend to appear and defend themselves in this matter, and we are requesting a stay of the proceedings, including all deadlines and further motion practice, so that [Minaj and her company] may have time to find and retain new litigation counsel, have counsel review the case file, confer with their new counsel, and prepare any responsive filings in an orderly manner.”
Minaj asked for an extra 45 days to get a new lawyer to allow her to properly respond to the case.
Burstein tells Us, “After I won a dismissal of Tameer Peak’s defamation lawsuit against Nicki in New Jersey, I declined the opportunity to represent her when Peak refiled it in New York. I believe that it would be inappropriate for me to discuss the reasons why I chose to decline the representation.”

Lawyers only leave longtime clients and billable hours for one reason and it ain't because the client is guilty.
