The fired Betty Ford worker who accused Lindsay Lohan of criminal battery -- then retreated from her police complaint before striking a financial deal with the actress' father Michael -- never signed any agreement, according to her new lawyer.

"I can confirm that no settlement has been reached by my client and any other party - she did not agree to anything nor has she signed anything either," Owen Latham McIntosh told RadarOnline.com, in an exclusive interview.

We broke that story that Holland secretly cut a $25,000 deal after refusing to cooperate with the police investigation into her altercation with the 24-year-old actress.

Holland denied there was ever a deal.

But in a stunning turn of events, Michael confirmed RadarOnline.com's exclusive report and contradicted the ex-chemical technician's denial, confessing that he agreed to pay a "greedy" Holland an undisclosed "number".

He said: "Dawn has had her attorney meet with me, negotiate with me and even propose a "deal" with me, her lawyer and Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Holly (Chapman) -- and while I agreed to Dawn Holland's initial "number",  to procure financial stability due to getting fired, she got greedy and took it to another level.

"Dawn DEMANDED that Lindsay agree to a sit down interview to make 'amends' for the sake of the public NOT because Dawn wanted to set the record straight, but because she negotiated a deal to make more money from the interview."

Responding to Michael's charges, Chapman Holly told RadarOnline.com: "I have never entered into any agreement with Ms. Holland or with any representative of Ms. Holland-- on Ms. Lohan's behalf or otherwise-- for money to be paid to Ms. Holland, either directly or indirectly."
