Robert Shapiro Quits As Lindsay Lohan’s Lawyer
Another one bites the dust

Lindsay Lohan is due to surrender herself to the court today to begin serving her sentence of 90 days in jail (and then another 90 days in rehab) but she will be showing up to court today without her new lawyer, Robert Shaprio … because just a few hours ago, he met with Judge Marsha Revel to inform her that he QUIT as Lohan‘s attorney. As you may recall, one of the stipulations of Shapiro‘s agreement to be Lindsay‘s attorney was that she turn herself in to the court in order to serve out her sentence as ordered … my guess is that Lindsay still is not ready to pay for her crimes and, as a result, Shapiro in good conscious could no longer represent her as her attorney. Here are the deets of this latest development as reported by TMZ:

TMZ has learned Bob Shapiro informed the judge in Lindsay Lohan’s case, he’s no longer representing her. It is unclear who will represent Lindsay tomorrow when she will turn herself in. We do not know why Shapiro has left the case. He said publicly he would represent Lindsay only if she agreed to jail and followed his instructions. Interestingly, Shawn Chapman Holley never signed the substitution of attorney form last Friday to get out of the case. So Shawn may be on the hook.

Ugh … so now that Shapiro is out, it is very likely that Lindsay‘s previous attorney, Shawn Chapman Holleywho also quit (or at least, attempted to) as Lohan‘s attorney, is back in to represent her tomorrow. This really sounds to me like Lindsay is trying to do everything she can to keep from going to jail to pay for her crimes … and no lawyer wants to go before Judge Revel to deal with her bullshizz antics. This surely will not look good to the judge today … but everything seems right on track — Lindsay Lohan will still very likely go to jail later on today.

    Lindsey is such a hot mess.

    At least Paris had the guts to turn herself in. Lindsay should just be roughly and physically dragged into a cell. Pity.

    Lindsey has many issues. I pray that she can overcome them, one at a time. I will always remember what a cute little girl she was
    and how she started her career. She was such a good little actress in “The Parent Trap”. What ever happened to her? God give her the strength to turn herself in today! I pray for that cute little girl to come back to all of us again. I hope everyone prays for her today. She needs help and someone or some higher power needs to guide her and help her get well.

    @Jennifer… your thoughts and “prayers” would have more credibility if you weren’t here to advertise online gaming….

    Anyone willing to bet that Lindsay will be a no-show?

    is it bad that I have just enough schadenfreude to be entertained by the image of the cops dragging her back from the Canadian border kicking and screaming? I would have been surprised if she’d gone quietly. Then again, there’s still hope that I might be. But as much as I hate to say it, I don’t even think that the jail time will make Lindsay see that she was wrong, not when her parents are probably standing behind her going “this is SO unfair Lindsay”. Who was it that was offered a reality show on life after jail? Paris? Lindsay’s parents would probably LOVE the idea.

    Just saw her on the news turning herself in. Gotta say, I’m actually surprised. Thought she would run for it. Let’s hope she grts a clue in there.
