Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Santa Monica City Attorney will be launching an investigation and will interview Lohan's ex-assistant Gavin Doyle tomorrow in the presence of police.
We're told ... prosecutors believe Heller may have approached Gavin and tried to get him to admit that he was the one driving the vehicle when Lohan's Porsche crashed into a big rig on Pacific Coast Highway last summer.
TMZ has learned Gavin has told multiple people about the alleged witness tampering ... including an officer of the court.
As for Heller, he has strongly stated that any accusation of witness tampering on his part is "crazy."
Huh, if by "crazy" you mean "something I would totally do for my drug-addicted client who is paying me with checks with Charlie Sheen's name on them", then yes, it's really crazy! Considering Lindsay barely even made it to court at all and when she did, she looked like she'd been up for three days smoking meth, I don't doubt at all that Heller realised the reality of the situation was pretty dire.
Some photos of Lindsay in court and Heller giving his press conference outside after the ruling are below...

Lindsay Lohan is dodgier than 2 cars meeting behind a high school at 2am during a snow storm, so it's no surprise that her lawyer, Mark Heller, would fall right in line. We know she finally took the plea deal at the eleventh hour and is going to rehab for 90 days (ha, let's see how long that lasts!) but did you also know that Heller tried to get Lindsay's former assistant to lie on the stand, if it came to that?

Lindsay Lohan might be really, really screwed. Her lawyer, Mark Heller, sucks so badly that he lied to her and bungled her plea deal. Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in a lockdown rehab facility, meaning she had to get treatment for 90 days straight, in rehab, with no day-passes or permission to leave for any reason until treatment was done.
But there's a slight hitch in this plan. This lockdown facility doesn't exist. At least not for people like Ms. Lohan. Lockdown rehab facilities are only avai...
Lindsay Lohan has a brand new mugshot to add to her collection. She had to submit to booking as part of her plea deal.
At one point, having so many mugshots was sad, but now it's funny again, especially her expression in this one. She is WORKING IT. Her skin looks flawless, her lips don't look as wacky botoxy as usual, and I love what she did with her eye makeup. IDK WTF she's wearing, and the hair is messy, though the color is FAB, so overall I give this a 9/10. I've seen Facebo...
Lindsay Lohan will not be going to jail -- sorry, everyone! She took the plea deal. Although she was sentenced to 5 days in jail, it looks like that will be combined with her 90 day lockdown in a rehab facility. And let's be real, even if that wasn't the case, she'd likely spend 3 hours in jail, tops.
Here are the details of the plea, straight from the judge. Lohan must comply with all of this or she will get 180 days in jail.
24 months on probation. 5 days in jail plus $150 fine plus pe...
Oh, Lindsay, never change. Or, you know, change before you're in jail for life or dead or something. Apparently Our Lady of Zero Consequences (bringing it back!) was due to fly from New York to Los Angeles on Saturday night ahead of her mandatory court appearance today (Monday). The only problem? She decided not to take it and instead stayed in NYC to see some shitty band play at a nightclub.
Then shit got doubly crazy as she re-booked a flight for Sunday night which she GOT OFF just moment...
Lindsay Lohan lied to cops about driving drunk and - surprise! - they're sort of trying to hold her responsible for it. Kind of. She was offered a plea deal in the case, which, if accepted, would probably mean she'd spend some time on house arrest. But Our Lady of Zero Consequences wasn't too fond of that and wanted, well, no punishment at all. She obviously hasn't considered that her other alternative is actually going to jail or she just doesn't care, because after refusing the deal, prose...
Justin Bieber - of all people - made fun of Lindsay Lohan on Instagram. Apparently this was one stop he had to make on his Justin Bieber Destroys Himself Tour. In a caption on his account, he wrote, "... to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements ;)"
(In case you can't read this, it's Beebsey going on and on about how awesome he is and "I don't care if you believe in me" and ending with "I think I'm going pretty damn good. And to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan lo...
The Shamwow guy AKA the Slapchop guy aka Vince Offer, directed a film starring Adrien Brody, Michelle Rodriguez, Rob Schneider, and Lindsay Lohan and the trailer is out and it's just as bad as you think it is. If you don't want to watch it, I'll sum it up for you.
- That Adrien Brody is in this film is a testament to the fact that he is impossible to work with and that no one wants to deal with his bullshit even after winning an Academy Award.
- The only funny moment in the trailer is wh...
Lindsay Lohan is really counting on continuing to get away with stuff without repercussion, because why not? Her latest legal headache to everyone who has to deal with this is the Lindsay lying to the cops charge.
Where we last left off, Ms. Lohan wanted a plea deal and then didn't accept it. Also, her lawyer sucks. The latest news is that Lohand That Rocks The Cradle (I know, I know, that doesn't even make sense, I'm just trying to come up with new things to say about this girl) doesn't want ...
Lindsay Lohan did something smart for a change, so naturally it made news. As we reported, yesterday Charlie "Only In America Would I Still Have A Career" Sheen offered to be Lindsay "This Tran Wreck Don't Stop For No One" Lohan's mentor:
From TMZ:
“I have a kinship with somebody [Lindsay] who clearly needs a mentor, whether she wants one or not. She can continue to hang out with her dress shredding club buddies, or turn to me for some advice from a guy who’s been down the road as well as ...
Christ almighty, what is it with Charlie Sheen's obsession with Lindsay Lohan? He's been throwing cash her way for months now to help with unpaid taxes, shredded dresses and the like... and now he wants to mentor her. I just can't.

Lindsay Lohan is all for personal appearances - except when it comes to her own court dates, of course. She's been seeking a plea deal in her drunk driving case in an attempt to stay out of jail, but she half-assed even that, and the judge was none too pleased about it.
From TMZ:
Lindsay Lohan has an incompetent lawyer representing her .... so says the judge in her criminal case.
It was shocking but Judge Jim Dabney reamed Mark Heller, saying he was incompetent to practice law in California and said Lindsay either ha...
