Attorney Robert Shapiro has reportedly turned his back on Lindsay Lohan by quitting as her lawyer on the eve of her surrender. Shapiro was to step in officially in front of the court as Lohan’s new counsel as the actress prepares to surrender for her 90-day jail sentence Tuesday. 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 go to jail and follow his instructions (" She must comply with the terms of probation, including a requirement of jail.”) Since Lindsay is in deep denial about going to jail we can only assume..........
Earlier Shawn Chapman Holley, who had been representing the actress, resigned after Lohan was sentenced for violating her DUI (driving under influence) probation. Interestingly, Chapman Holley never signed the substitution of attorney form last Friday to get out of the case. So Shawn may be on the hook.
After Shapiro took over, Lohan checked into the Pickford Lofts, a sober living house founded by Shapiro; basically, a rehab centre founded in memory of his son who died of an overdose of drugs five years ago.
The lawyer has refused to comment over the reports. You have sadly disappointed me Mr Shapiro. I was counting on you to save Lindsay from herself. You have helped so many other young people to rehabilitate. Don't abandon her like everyone else has, including her family.
