Lindsay Lohan has finally paid her battle-weary lawyer Shawn Holley $150,000 in legal fees for many years of skillful service as part of a deal to convince Holley to return as her representation.
In January, Lohan fired her highly competent lawyer, Holley, and replaced her with Mark Heller whose license was suspended for five years in 1994, TMZ reported.
Heller fumbled Lohan’s case last month when he tried to ship her off to a rehab facility that had its license revoked.
Naturally, Lohan ran back to Holley who agreed to return on one condition – that Lohan pay $150,000 in legal fees owed for several years’ worth of representation.
Digital Spy is now reporting that Lohan finally delivered on her end of the deal. Not only did she pay the debt in full but Lohan has also set aside savings for future legal fees.
Lohan is currently serving a 90-day stint at the Betty Ford rehab center as part of a plea deal to avoid jail time.
She was reportedly doing very well there right up until she recently requested to leave the facility a month ahead of schedule so she could celebrate her 27th birthday on July 2, we reported.
A source revealed that Lohan was “hell bent” on convincing her doctors and the courts to grant an early release due to her good progress.
However, her doctors believe the actress will benefit most from completing the 90-day sentence.
Not to mention that if she walks out of rehab she’d be walking right into jail for breaking her plea deal.
