Rock star COURTNEY LOVE was shocked when high-powered Hollywood attorney HOWARD WEITZMAN contacted her and told her he would be willing to represent her in her legal battles for free.
The MALIBU star was arrested for allegedly attacking a woman with a liquor bottle at her ex-boyfriend's home, as well as for drug possession.
She insists her legal troubles are now behind and credits Weitzman, who has also represented OJ SIMPSON and MICHAEL JACKSON, for giving her a chance at a new life.
She explains, "The thing is this great lawyer came in and saved the day. He's a great guy named HOWARD WEITZMAN. Came in for free.
"For most people it costs a lot of money to sit down with Howard.
"He came in and said, 'I'll represent you if you stop doing drugs, because I don't like representing guilty people.' "I've honoured that for a year and three months now. I look better, feel better, (but) I have to deal with pain...which is not so fun."
