The Los Angeles judge who could send Lindsay Lohan back to jail as soon as Friday is refusing to meet with the Hollywood wild child's attorney, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

Shawn Chapman Holley had requested a meeting with Judge Elden Fox before Lohan's crucial probation violation hearing at a Beverly Hills courthouse on Friday.

But in what could be an ominous sign before the judgment, RadarOnline.com has learned "Judge Fox is flat out denying Lindsay's lawyer's request to meet in chambers" in the presence of Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

"Shawn had even contacted the D.A. to arrange the meeting, as she always has whenever the need has arisen to meet with the judge," said the source.

"Judge Marsha Revel agreed to meet routinely in the past with both sides, it's very common. But Judge Fox's refusal to meet with Lindsay's attorney is a very bad sign for the actress."

Judge Fox ordered Lohan back to jail without bail after she failed a court-ordered drug test, last month.

Holley complained the judge was wrong to deny bail and won a reprieve an appeal, after L.A. County Superior Court Judge Patricia M. Schnegg set bail at $300,000.

Lohan's counselors at the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs have submitted to a detailed report to Judge Fox, before he makes his decision, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"Lindsay's treatment team is recommending that she stay in rehab longer than 30 days," said the source.

As RadarOnline.com first revealed, Lohan, who has an addiction to cocaine, won't attempt to fight the dirty test result that sent her back to the slammer in the first place.

"Whatever Judge Fox orders Lindsay to do, she will comply with. Lindsay knows her fate is firmly in Judge Fox's hands," the insider said.

Lohan will leave Betty Ford early on Friday to arrive in court in Beverly Hills, for the hearing.

Lindsay said she'd submit to whatever Judge Fox ordered last time. And as soon as he put her jail she had her lawyer go to another judge to get her out.

I don't blame the judge for being pis sed. Lindsay disobeyed his orders, and those of the judge before him. Judges do not take kindly to being ignored. They expect respect and cooperation. Lindsay blew it on both counts.

her attorney is good and should do anything for her client. i admire that. i also admire the judge. lindsay is an addict and needs help, even if it's jail time. again i state that a hard line finally helped robert downey jr.

remember his statement *paraphrasing* that drugs were like a gun in his mouth and he liked the taste of gun metal? that is an addict's thinking but he was changed thanks to a hard line by the courts.

and he credits the jail time as getting him clean, not rehab... he served 3 months for missing a drug test the first time and then 1 year (of a 3 year sentence) for missing another drug test.

Should have stuck with Revel, lol. I am glad to hear this. LL needs more rehab but she and her team have antagonized the judge. If she weren't a celebrity she would have been in Jail. People get 6 months for a little pot.

Be mature LL, accept whatever the consequences may be and should he send you to jail, afterwards you should continue inpatient rehab for a while....if just to deal with your crazy father. View it as a chance!!!!
