After her long suffering lawyer, Shawn Chapman-Holley, threw up her hands in frustration and ran screaming out of of the courtroom to get away from Lindsay resigned as Lindsay’s legal council last week (only to be told by the Judge that she can’t quit until all the appropriate paperwork has been filed) the big question was who was going to represent Lilo?
It’s not going to be some green lawyer who just passed the bar last year (which was the rumour late last week), or the Real Cornitian Leather in the spiffy powder blue suit to the left. Who? This would be Stuart V Goldberg, a criminal defense attorney who dropped everything on his plate and left his practice in Illinois to come rushing to Lindsay’s legal aid (whether she wanted it or not).
Surprise, surprise, the Lohans apparently aren’t going to take Mr. Goldberg up on his completely generous and in no way self-serving offer after all. A source close to the lawyer says that the Lohans couldn’t afford Goldberg and that he refused to work for free (so there too). Meanwhile, another source close to Lindsay (obviously Dina) says that she felt Mr. Goldberg was a little too “eccentric”. Heh.
Never thought I’d say this about the Lohan’s, but smart move.
TMZ is now reporting that the Lohans have hired high powered attorney Robert Shapiroto represent Linds with her appeal from here on, so Real Cornithian Leather has taken his leathery hide and powder blue suit back to the windy city.
