Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Santa Monica City Attorney -- who is prosecuting Lindsay for allegedly lying to cops after her June car crash on Pacific Coast Highway -- was willing keep Lindsay out of jail, PROVIDED she agree to check into "lockdown rehab" for 6 months.
Sources say ... Shawn Holley -- the lawyer who has kept Lindsay out of jail -- was on her way to court Monday to meet with the prosecutor and the judge to hash out the deal. What's more, Lindsay also faces jail time for a probation violation in the jewelry heist case because she allegedly lied to cops after the crash. We're told the judge could have agreed to end both cases if Lindsay checked into rehab.
But Shawn never made it to court, because Lindsay signed her walking papers and hired a New York lawyer who was suspended in the '90s from practicing law for 5 years.
Lindsay now says she wants Shawn back. The question -- does Shawn have the stomach for another helping of Lindsay?
There's a hearing scheduled for 8:30 AM PT today. Shawn will probably show up because she's still counsel of record. If she stays on the case, prosecutors could present the deal to her, but Lindsay is making it all very difficult.

Honestly I can see what people were speculating being true in that Lindsay actually let go of Shawn because she can't afford to pay her and this guy is probably representing her for nothing for publicity. That being said the timing of this is impeccable really and even if she's broke... Jon Gosselin's lawyer? Someone that was probably recommended to you by one of your shitty parents who have done nothing but lead you down a path of self-destruction and have just lived for the media circus and attention every step of the way? Yeah. Continue with your awesome life choices Lindsay, you're doing swell.
