Joking about her past DUIs, actress Lindsay Lohan is the new spokesperson for legal directory and lawyer-matching service Lawyer.com. In exchange for a substantial stock option, she will advise company management on raising awareness and recording videos.
"When Lawyer.com first reached out to me, I was confused and a little scared, because I thought I was in trouble," she says in one video. "Lawyer.com is just about helping people. From getting a DUI -- let's not pretend I didn't get one, or two, or three..."
