Mel Gibson's Russian ex-girlfriend and the mother of her child, Oksana Grigorieva lose her 41st lawyer, but quickly hired her 42nd.

In a report by entertainment Web site TMZ, Grigorieva's PR manager Steve Jaffe revealed that Alan Shifman, Oksana's family lawyer, left the case in a decision described by Jaffe as a mutual one.

Shifman was Oksana's 41st lawyer to leave the case involving accusations of domestic violence against Hollywood actor Mel Gibson.

But Oksana had already hired her 42nd lawyer identified by TMZ as Ronald A. Litz who was quoted by the website as saying: "I would like to bring some peace to the situation so the child doesn't suffer."

"I will try my best to resolve this matter expeditiously and hopefully in a mutually agreeable manner," Litz said.
