Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan will definitely go to jail on Tuesday.  This is according to her new lawyer, Robert Shapiro, who only agreed to take the case if and only if Lindsay goes to jail. So there’s no escaping LL’s jail time as her celebrity lawyer had imposed it upon her to serve her sentence.

Lohan has to serve 90 days in jail as a result of California Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel’s decision when Lohan was found violating the terms of her probation on drunk driving case and failed to attend her alcohol education classes. Her former lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, resigned after she found the judge’s decision too harsh on Lindsay. In the last few days, Holley hinted that Lindsay might be hiring Shapiro to evade prison time.

But Robert Shapiro had something else on his mind. “I have agreed to represent Ms. Lohan on the condition she comply with the terms of probation, including a requirement of jail imposed by Judge Marsha Revel,” Shapiro said in a message to Reuters. “Ms. Lohan is suffering from a disease that I am all too familiar with. Hopefully, I can be of assistance to Ms. Lohan and Judge Revel in implementing a treatment approach recommended by medical professionals for Ms. Lohan’s long term recovery and sobriety,” the statement said.

Shapiro is no stranger to Lohan’s case. After his son Brent died in 2005 after taking ecstasy drugs while drinking, he has been an active participant in the fight against drug addiction and has been helping others who are in dangerous drugs situations to overcome their deadly habits.

He has also helped a lot of celebrities and was a part of OJ Simpson’s “dream team” when he was accused of murdering his wife. Shapiro’s family also established the Brent Shapiro Foundation and the Pickford Lofts sober living facility in LA where Lindsay Lohan is reportedly staying since early this week.
