You are kidding; lawyers “screw” their clients routinely. Surely they require no provocation, admonition, regulation or prohibition, nor encouragement. The system promotes, and it seems, to us laymen, advocates such chicanery.
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all that that sort of thing was frowned upon…
I am afraid I do take exception when attorneys bill you after taking advantage. It is one of the few if only vocations that allow you to speak in foreign tongues seducing you with ceremonial prestige and assurances that Big Bro on the bench will ensure a safe passage for the lesser neer do well. When I got raped I never so much as got a groping these people are nasty.
I am an attorney who often represents my husband (a non-attorney) in various legal matters. Among other things, he owns rental properties and from time to time I handle unlawful detainers (evictions) for him. I intend to continue sleeping with him – unsurprisingly, we sleep together in the same bed as a married couple – as well as having sex with him. My conduct complies with the current State Bar of California rules governing professional conduct and I certainly hope any additional rules promulgated in the future allow attorney-client spouses to continue their normal conjugal relations.
