Lindsay Lohan's lawyer admits the troubled actress is out of control.

She wrote: "I have made many efforts to convince Lohan to appear for her deposition. I do not know how to reach her directly."

The 'Liz & Dick' star is required to make a deposition in a pending lawsuit, after photographer Grigor Balyan recently filed documents claiming Lindsay's been busy partying instead of giving evidence in his case against her.

Balyan claims Lindsay's assistant drove into him while leaving a Hollywood nightclub back in 2010, with the 'Mean Girls' actress as his passenger.

Balyan has asked the judge to fine Lindsay and Azrael for giving him the runaround.

In the document - which have been seen by gossip website TMZ - Azrael claims she has to go through Lindsay's other lawyer, Mark Heller, to get through to her and says Heller's been making it difficult.

As well as this case, Lindsay is also facing three misdemeanour counts involving a car crash last June after being charged for resisting, obstruction, providing false information to a police officer and reckless driving.
