Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen both want to save their marriage. Yale Galanter, Mueller's attorney, told the Associated Press,"they're very much in love. They want to try to work it out and want to have the best shot at doing that." Sheen's lawyer, Richard Cummins, confirmed to the AP that his client also wants to patch things up -- and he is asking to amend a restraining order that prevents the pair from communicating.

"I will tell you that both parties want to attempt to work this out," Galanter continued. "Whatever was said and whatever happened, I'm chalking it up as one really bad night."
TMZ was the first to report that Mueller, 32, hired Galanter, the criminal defense attorney who once represented OJ Simpson. Galanter may assist Mueller should she be charged with making a false police report about the now-infamous Christmas Day incident with Sheen, in which she accused him of threatening her with a knife.
Look back on the biggest breakups of the year
Galanter tells TMZ that Mueller in no way concocted or exaggerated her story of Sheen's threats. Instead, he says, she did "minimize her story, like many wives in a similar situation do, when they realize their husband could go to jail."
The ugliest family feuds of all time
The famed attorney notes to TMZ that his client did not realize her husband would be arrested when she made her frantic 911 call -- but the star's wife has absolutely no plans to recant her story.
Tell Us What You Think
45People are forgetting its “Allegedly”! Whether you like it or not people with alleged cases in police reports always seem to get a job. Charlie hasn’t been convicted for serious crime apart from drugs/
DO NOT DO IT BROOKE !!! Once a loser, always a loser....he will not change...after awhile, he will go back to the old ways !
She's a fool to go back to him. He'll do it again and maybe even worse. She's blaming herself now for his anger. She should be very worried about the next time this happens.
"Mmmm...let me see...should I reconcile with someone who threatened me with a knife? Oh, yes! I love him!" What an idiot!
I would rather clean toilets for a living then have a man put his hands on me any time he feels like it!
I agree with Anon and Meril...I think it was Brooke who was out of line..I dont think it was Charlie, he should dump her and just focus on his career and his kids. For god sakes she's jealous of his daughter...sick.
This was such a publicity stunt, wow a new low for both of them. She made up facts of the case, but i am not saying that her dirtbag of a husband is better, they need to lay off the cocaine they smoke together.
Oooooh, but I thought Ossified 911 calling Brooke was so tremendously "afraid" of Charlie. Seems not huh? Amazing what gallons of alcohol and a holiday can do to a so called mother huh? Two days later after calling 911 apparently afraid for her life (LoL..uhm sure) she's out getting drunk with c list celebs and her kids nowhere to be found. Look, I realize Sheen has got a past to give you wonder, but this chick is no angel either. The whole story screams of a intoxicated woman that got in a verbal fight with her man, and used his past history to loge a complaint against him. She now won't cooperate with the cops. The chick is insane period and the fact that these poor babies are under her guidance should have CPS busting down her door, Charlie Sheen or not.
How is it a false report b/c she wants to work things out with him? She said she is not changing her story only that she wants to ammend the restraining order so they can work things out. That does not mean she was lying about the incident.
It is all about money and the twins are doomed to be just like Charlie so they should just divorce before he kills her.
Brooke should then GO TO JAIL. If she falsely told police she was choked and almost stabbed and Sheen threatened her life. SHE IS SUCH A DOOR MAT. At her funeral - keep the coffin open to show the world what happens to stupid women who sign up for serial wife beaters.
I'm sure she DOES want to reconcile...now that the public knows about her more sordid past now! I agree with Anon 1:34: for once this wasn't Charlie.
What a laugh, she wants to reconcile? I wonder why? Is that because she knows which side her bread is buttered on? Charlie Sheen should run like the devil to get away from that opportunitist. He should have known when she had lunch with his ex, that Brooke was up to no good.
There is no way this is the first domestic violence incident with them. This is just the first time it was bad enough to call 911 for help. Domestic abusers escalate the behavior when they get away with it. I always wondered what Brooke saw in Charlie. I'm sure Denise tried to warn her, but she thought she could change him and he would never do that to her. Dummy! Everytime I saw a picture of her I wondered how nasty in bed she must be to keep Charlie's attention. Come on, did everyone forget he was one of Heidi Fleiss' best customers!
I guess she realized that her meal ticket would end and now is back tracking to keep that almighty dollar in her wallet. She deserves to be with him. They are both idiots. And of course her past cocaine arrests make me wonder who was high and who was drunk.
The more that comes out, the more I really don't think that it was Charlie this time.
Wow they are truely made for eachother! Maybe if they BOTH go into rehab/AA/etc they could make it. Look at Robert Downy Jr but his wife and him made a comitment to not only eachother but sobriety.
Ugly And Dumb both! Denis had more class in her little finger than this freak! You Know when you call the cops about a knife incident your husband will be arrested. Guess she's now worried about losing out on his money.
Typical Hollywood trash.
