Lindsay Lohan: "She's Finally Made a Decision to Turn Her Life Around," Says Source

Exclusive! Troubled starlet's attorney Mark Heller arguing for a "continuance" to give LiLo time to participate in "certain activities"

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer has made an unexpected move.

Mark Heller, the attorney who took over representing LiLo in her ongoing probation violation case, filed a legal motion on Friday to put the case on a "slow track" in order to give the troubled actress time.

According to the court documents, Heller argues that there should be a "continuance" on the case because it will "enable the Defendant who is pursuing and participating in certain activities which will benefit her and afford her more of an opportunity to be a productive and responsible person and contributor to society."

A source tells E! News that the activities proposed will include "various public service and various charitable efforts."

"She's finally made a decision to turn her life around," the source added.

The documents continue to state that, "the Defendant has made a commitment to herself to elevate her life and participate in activities which will advance her desire to lead a model life." 

The motion also seeks to dismiss charges made against Lohan after police claimed she lied about who was driving her Porsche when she was involved in a Santa Monica car crash back in June, claiming specific procedural irregularities in the ways authorities responded to the incident.

It sure hasn't been a good day for Lohan. Earlier today, the embattled Liz & Dick star for hit with a $56,000 tax lien for 2011.
