Michael Lohan is eyeing Dana Cole, a prominent Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer, to serve as the conservator for Lindsay Lohan.
The two met on Thursday, though we're told Cole did not sign on -- but he listened.
As we first reported, Michael wants to file for a conservatorship, but he knows the judge would never appoint him as a conservator ... for numerous reasons.
But Lindsay is adamant ... she's not going under a conservatorship -- period.
