Mel B says "Don Engel...holy crap!" © Graffiti Press / PhotorazziThe former Spice Girl - who was dumped by the 'Doctor Dolittle' star during a TV interview - has hooked up with celebrity lawyer Don Engel to help her take Eddie "to the cleaners".A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Mel is refusing to lie down and let Eddie walk all over her - and this is reflected in her choice of lawyer. She wants to hit him where it hurt the most - in the pocket. They don't come much better than Don."It has been estimated that with the help of her $500-an-hour legal advisor, Mel could get as much has £15,000 in lifelong payments for their child.However, Eddie- who is now reportedly dating film producer Tracey Edmonds - has demanded a DNA test to prove the child is really his.Engel - who counts Cher, Meatloaf and Fleetwood Mac among his past clients - is considered on of Hollywood's most successful lawyers and enjoys taking on high profile work.The source added: "Don's services don't come cheap but he one of the best lawyers around. Most lawyers would relish taking on an A-list star and Don will surely be no exception. "This is a war and if Eddie doesn't know it, he will very shortly."(C) BANG Media International
