Lindsay Lohan has just made one of the worst decisions of her life – she’s fired Shawn Holley. Shawn Holley nearly became a household name by keeping Lindsay out of jail on MULTIPLE occasions. Lindsay dropped Shawn and has hired New York lawyer Mark Heller. Mark was suspended from practicing law for 5 years back in 1994, maybe Lindsay sees a kindred spirit?

Lohan is facing criminal prosecution in both California and New York.  Attorney Mark Heller is repping Lindsay in the NYC assault case.  Shawn Holley was repping LiLo in L.A. in her multiple criminal cases — most recently the car crash where she allegedly lied to cops.

It’s a stunning development — given that Holley has taken heat for being too effective, keeping Lindsay out of the pokey in the jewelry heist case as well as several probation violation cases.  And she’s almost magically made some criminal investigations disappear.

Sources connected with the L.A. prosecution of Lindsay tell TMZ … Heller — who according to the New York Times has been called a “menace to the public” by some lawyers  — sent a letter to Holley saying he was now repping her on all criminal matters.

Bad timing on Lindsay’s part, because sources tell us … Holley was literally on her way to the courthouse when Heller sent his letter — she was trying to negotiate yet another sweet settlement for Lindsay in the lying-to-cops case.

Calls to Holley were not returned.

I am blown away by this news. Lindsay owes her firstborn to Shawn for all the work she’s done for Lindsay over the years. I am stunned that she would drop the woman who has almost flawlessly defended Lindsay. Lindsay has avoided jail so many times, and she only has Shawn to thank for that.

Interesting move, Lindsay.
