Bynes’ new legal muscle

Amanda Bynes has lawyered up.

The ex-TV child star has ditched the court-appointed lawyer who handled her arraignment last month and hired noted criminal-defense lawyer Gerald Shargel to defend her in her bizarre bong-tossing case.

“It’s premature to comment at this point,” said Shargel, who has represented John Gotti, Danny Pelosi and David Letterman extorter Robert “Joe” Halderman.
