Lohan's new lawyer strolls onto the scene

Newly sentenced jailbird and professional alcoholic, Lindsay Lohan, has had her new lawyer (her old one packed up and left) speak to gossip website TMZ. Among other things, the legal supremo said he planned to 'kick butt' and 'take some names' - well, according to the website.

The lawyer, Stuart V. Goldberg reportedly told the site in speaking about his strategy: "Instead of making her reactive, like a pin cushion, [we're going] to be proactive. We're gonna go after them."


He also noted that he wasn't fond of the idea that Lohan would be going to jail. Clearly the judge did, however. [TMZ] [Image via NY Daily News]
