LOS ANGELES, July 11 (UPI) -- Troubled U.S. actress Lindsay Lohan has contacted a Chicago criminal defense attorney to help her handle her latest legal predicaments.

Lohan called Chicago attorney Stuart V. Goldberg Friday, three days after she was handed a 90-day jail sentence for violating her parole from a 2007 driving under the influence conviction, Goldberg told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Goldberg told the newspaper that after speaking with Lohan, her mother and sister for 7 hours, they are still "at the courting stage," calling the 24-year-old singer-actress an "exquisite, flawed, broken woman-child."

He also called Los Angeles a city that "denigrates attractive, high-profile people" with a justice system that operates like "a circus."

Shawn Chapman Holley, Lohan's previous attorney, resigned Thursday after calling the 90-day jail term "harsh and unfair."

Lohan is scheduled to begin her sentence July 20.
