The lawyer speaks about the arrest…

Ready to fight the allegations

Justin Timberlake has remained quiet following his DWI arrest… but his lawyer says he’s ready to fight tooth and nail for his client, which is interesting.

JT’s defense attorney, Edward Burke Jr.tells TMZ… “(We) look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have much to say at the appropriate time.”

Ed adds… “He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.” It almost looks like Justin and company. I think the arrest and subsequent charges are BS – that’s the vibe here anyway.

This declaration comes 2 days after Justin was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, for allegedly driving while intoxicated. As we reported … the *NSYNC alum was arrested by local police after claiming he ran a stop sign and was seen swerving in the road.

While Justin reportedly told the arrest bureau that he only drank one martini at the American Hotel – where we’re told he was enjoying a night out with friends – cops say Justin had bloodshot/glassy eyesa strong smell of alcohol on the breath, slowed speech, etc.

They also claim JT failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breathalyzer… leading the cops to handcuff him and take him to jail. He spent the night behind bars and was released without bail Tuesday morning… where Edward was photographed alongside him.

Justin is due back in court in July… but his world tour does not seem to be impacted by the drama. He is always supposed to carry out Friday and Saturday at the United Center in Chicago.
