Amber Heard Hires New Legal Team Amid Appeal of Johnny Depp Trial Verdict
Amber Heard has hired new legal counsel amid her ongoing litigious battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp. Last month, Heard took the necessary step toofficially appeal the verdict in Depp's defamation case against her. According to the legal documents, obtained by ET, the actress' lawyers at the time filed the paperwork on July 21 in Fairfax County, Virginia, alerting the court they would be filing an appeal in the case where jurors awarded the star $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
