Nicole Richie's lawyer has just gone to court seeking a restraining order against the paparazzo who struck her car earlier this month.

The pap -- who ironically goes by Bam Bam -- was arrested after the crash.
As we first reported, famed P.I. Scott Ross paid a visit to Nicole's house after the crash, along with a lawyer from Mark Geragos' law firm.

Looks like Nicole Richie may be lawyering up after her car crash yesterday -- and the lawyer is none other than Mark Geragos.

We got this shot of Tamar Arminak -- a lawyer in Geragos' firm -- and master P.I. Scott Ross entering Nicole Richie's property about an hour ago. Ross works for Geragos and the two of them have handled a bunch of celeb cases, including most recently People vs. Chris Brown.
We're told Richie is angry at the photog and may sue him -- she thinks he intentionally rear-ended her to create some drama.
Stay tuned ...
