HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Lindsay Lohan may be gearing up for an appeal in an effort to avoid jail time.
The starlet’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, abruptly resigned on Thursday, two days after Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating terms of her probation. The resignation came hours after Holley spoke out about Lohan’s sentence, calling it "harsh and unfair."
The 24-year-old actress is placing her hopes in the hands of a new attorney, Tiffany Feder-Cohen. However, legal experts say the likelihood of winning an appeal are remote at best.
On Tuesday, Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said the troubled star missed seven court-ordered alcohol education classes, violating her probation stemming from a 2007 DUI arrest. Lohan was ordered turn herself in and begin serving her sentence on July 20.
