Actress Lindsay Lohan steered clear of another legal landmine today, after her attorney convinced a Los Angeles Superior Court judge that the one-time child star was not in violation of her terms of probation.
If she can stay clean while on probation, Lohan can avoid any further jail time and put this incident behind her. A second-time DUI offense carries potential jail time and the loss of your driving privilege for one year, not to mention fines and an 18-month DUI second offenders class.
No matter how famous, everyone who is arrested for DUI, whether in Hollywood, Newport Beach, Irvine or anywhere else in Southern California, needs a good lawyer to help them through the process, both the criminal aspect as well as the administrative hearing process through the Department of Motor Vehicles.
