How old is she anyway?! It seems 90 days is just too long for our newest 24 year old potential poker debutante and ex-starlet to spend behind bars. Low-Hand has now hired Robert Shapiro as her new lawyer. The hotshot celebrity lawyer usually handles cases for clients facing substantially longer jail terms: 10 to 20 years longer than Lindsay’s.
He helped OJ out way back in 1995 and has since represented Christian Brando and the Kardashians.
Shapiro’s reason has nothing to do with Lindsay’s celebrity apparently; it is more to do with Shapiro being concerned by Lindsay’s bad, self-inflicted, situation and wanting to help after losing a son to a drug overdose in 2005.
Apparently Shapiro won’t be appealing any of crimes Low-Hand was sentenced for which makes sense because she really, REALLY messed up there: starting with a conviction for crimes surrounding a series of DUI arrests, then ‘forgetting’ to attend her court-mandated alcohol rehab classes and having “Fuc* u” written on one of her nails during the hearing. Shapiro is instead going to try and talk the judge into moving the starlet from jail to rehab.
While Lindsay’s crimes aren’t as serious as many of Shapiro’s past clients, getting and keeping her out of jail might be his biggest challenge yet, thanks to her blatant disregard for the law and flailing Prima donna attitude.
