More things you really shouldn’t do if you’re a lawyer:
- While having an affair with a married client, draft a will for him in which he leaves you nearly $5 million from his estate (Orange County, N.Y. estate lawyer Michele Okin, already disbarred over unrelated client fraud; a judge threw out the will)(New York Law Journal)
- Hire a thug to rough up clients who owe you money (former Winnipeg immigration lawyer Ingrid Chen, sentenced to 18 months behind bars)(CBC)(more at Legal Juice)
- Serve as straw man for a 3,000-client bogus accident ring (now-disbarred Solomon Kaplan, convicted in New York of witness tampering and making false statements to an FBI agent, though the Second Circuit vacated his insurance fraud convictions on account of judicial error)(New York Law Journal)
