Lindsay Lohan Talking To Chicago Defense Attorney

By Anna Deem in News on Jul 11, 2010 7:00PM

Chicago criminal defense attorney, Stuart V. Goldberg, is the latest individual to get wrapped up in actress Lindsay Lohan's legal woes. Lohan--who was sentenced to 90 days in jail last week after violating her parole--personally called Goldberg on Friday and he spent seven hours talking to Lohan and her mother and sister. Lohan also asked Goldberg to fly out to Los Angeles, he revealed to the Chicago Sun-Times.

"We're at the courting stage," Goldberg said to the Sun-Times. He said he was "here to help" and described Lohan as an "exquisite, flawed, broken woman-child." On his website, Goldberg is described as an attorney who has "built a national reputation for [aggressively] championing the rights of the unjustly accused." If hired by Lohan, Goldberg would replace previous attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, who resigned from the case last Thursday after the jail sentence was handed out. Lohan is due to surrender to the court on July 20.
