Celebrity Justice
Blair Berk: The Miracle Worker

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer pulled off one of the biggest legal feats in recent memory.


Lohan faced years in prison if convicted and charged with a felony. But mega-lawyer Blair Berk was able to negotiate with the D.A. and literally turn Lindsay's jail sentence into a revolving door. Lindsay could theoretically walk into jail at 11:30 one night and leave first thing in the morning.

It's not that the deal is that unusual, but getting it to stick, given the high profile of the case and the political pressure, makes it all remarkable.

46. I wonder if this bitch would let me off the hook if I ran over one of her relatives whilst on coke, doubtful, I am not rich or a sorry excuse of a celebrity.

47. WHEN not IF Lindsey Lohan kills someone or herself, I hope you get taken for everything for everything your black heart holds dear. How on earth do you look at yourself in the mirror?

LOHAN HAS ONE OF THOSE HALLOWEEN MIRRORS - you look into it and the "DEVIL' is staring right back at you!

My bags are packed, I'm moving to LA - got my bottle of Blue Goose and my Blow. Revving up my Mazerrati, got someone elses jeans on, hell just like old "Crotch Fire", even got somebody else's legs on!

48. Who was paid off? This is an unfair. Two counts of drunk driving on a suspended license and only spending one day in jail? What a b_tch Lindsay is. Everyone should avoid her movies and records. Boycott all the Lohans

51. Everyone should email the "Governator" about the obvious "special' attention given to these drunken, druggie driving celebrities and the farce the LA legal system is to the rest of the country.

Both Lohan & Richie!

52. Whe some of these idiots saying nasty things about the lawyer get in trouble, do they want their lawyer to help them go to prison?

53. ANYBODY else (well other than her fellow pieces of crap in Hollywood) would be facing felony time for taking coke into the jail...hopefully her lawyer is the first person she takes out the next time she screws up..then hopefully she'll take herself out of the food chain!

54. #38, hopefully you are the second one, after her attorney, to step in front of Lindsay the next time she is stewed to the gills and behind the wheel!!!

55. Just another slimball attorney, Wonder how Proud she will be when LiLo kills somebody, or a family ???????? LA is the joke of America when it comes to the judicial system..........for sure.!

56. She is NO miracle worker. All she did was "deliver the payoff" to the DA. Is that the picture of her coming out of the DA's office with a lighter briefcase.......I think that DA needs to be investigated!

Celebrity UPS at your service!

57. You cannot compare Lohan to Paris. Now if after the next "incident" with Lohan she gets off easy, then yes there is a major discrepancy. Paris had 3 strikes, Lohan only has 2 (for now).

58. #63--of course you can't compare Lohan to Paris. Lohan had COCAINE on her BOTH TIMES. The reason it wasn't enough to garner "felony charges" was because she had already used some!

59. EVENTUALLY LINDSEY'S CARELESS AND RECKLESS DRIVING HABITS WILL KILL SOMEONE AND WHEN SHE DOES I HOPE ITS A CLOSE RELATIVE OF HER ATTORNEY AND THE DA!!

MAYBE THEN THEY WILL THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR DECISIONS!

60. So we supposed to get political advice from Hollywood celebrities? Why do we, the real people of this land, must care about the endorsement of any of these idiots?

As for this "wonderful" lawyer, she is just serving her master... Lawyers just want to win their cases, they don't give a damm if their client is guilty.
They truly are the devil's advocate and tonight they are celebrating...Another criminal is out, their job is done!!!!
