TMZ has learned ... Shawn Chapman Holley is going to be by Lindsay Lohan's side in court this morning, representing her after Robert Shapiro bailed on LiLo.
TMZ broke the story ... Holley quit earlier this month, because Lindsay was an uncontrollable client.
But now Lindsay is in a pinch, and Holley is stepping up.
Sources tell us Lindsay is furious at Shapiro, feeling as if he totally used her to get publicity for his sober living house. She believes that is the only reason he agreed to rep her and sold her a bill of goods.
We've learned Holley is supposed to be in court in the Juan-Carlos Cruz attempted murder case at the same time Lindsay's case is heard. We're told Holley is going to have the Cruz case delayed so she can be with Lindsay.
As for Lindsay, we're told she's terrified but on board with the plan today.
UPDATE: Holley just showed up at Lindsay's apartment.

Oh sure...this was a setup by her, she will now try and ask for a continuance so she doesn't have to go in jail today...loser
Just enough time to turn her over to the police and get back to another trial.
Ok when does the coverage start?.. of this Skank going to jail...
Really.... she has to put off a MURDER trail for this?
Grow up Lindsay for G@d sakes. It's time. It's really time.
SCH will be there because she has to be, as the Judge did not grant her leave to withdraw. She is a good lawyer and will do a good job, but I am sure LL will get no "extras" from her this go around. SCH will be there to send LL off, and that's it. LL really screwed up the lawyer thing, which speaks volumes.
Good riddance.
Shawn Holley must have powers beyond the ordinary! For, God, Himself, cannot "help" an addict who neither acknowledges problems, nor admits the need to change dysfunctional behaviors.
Getting tired of stories about poor Lindsay. Apparently, we are now supposed to feel badly because she is scared about going to jail. Shall we take a poll? All those who are thrilled at the prospect of being locked up raise your hand. I believe the point is, it's supposed to scare you. She had several opportunities to avoid this. I have no sympathy.
Hurry the hell up and get the the crying and screaming of Hohan getting cuffed and stuffed!
I knew when we never heard of Robert Shapiro filing the paperwork to officially bring him on, this was going to happen. If I was Shawn I would have been calling his office every 5 minutes to make sure he signs the paperwork. She knew this had to happen. And now, to postpone a MURDER trial for this skank? Ugh, I want her to explode in court, caught on camera, grab a bailiff's gun and just end it all.
lock her dumb ass up she is no different from the rest of us! coke and dui i would still be in jail. nice justice system in california
I don't know who the bigger loser is at this point...Lohan (who can't/won't just woman up) or Holley (who probably wants to crawl under a table by now). If she was ordered to report to jail by today (which she was), where'd this seeming request for a continuance come from? Was there an actual appeal filed? There's a disconnect in this legal process somewhere for me.
#8 - Lindsay is messed up and serioulsy deserves jail time etc BUT wishing her dead makes you a bigger douchbag!
