Michael Lohan and his attorney Lisa Bloom are calling today's court hearing a victory. Even though Lindsay Lohan was a no-show for her mandatory DUI progress hearing, Michael was happy with the judge's ruling.

X17online exclusively caught up with Lindsay's dad outside the Beverly Hills courthouse where he addresses his thoughts on his daughter going to jail, and whether Dina will be joining the fight to save Lindsay.

He tells X17, "Dina loves Lindsay. She'll be here when she needs her."
