A Minnesota lawyer is suspended indefinitely after having an affair with a client and then billing her for the time spent having sex, TwinCities.com reported.
Thomas P. Lowe, 58, of Eagan, Minn., who is married, had an affair with a woman he was representing in a divorce case, according to the website.
Lowe reportedly knew the client for many years, and agreed in August 2011 to represent her in her divorce case. The two began an affair one month later.
The website reports that at several times, Lowe billed the woman for legal services rendered while the two were having sex -- calling the time spent together a "meeting" or memo draft.

Laywer Bills Client for Time Having Sex Together
No wonder they sometimes make such a bad name for themselves. Just like cops, they can be their own worst enemies:

Ouch...
In a way, this is up there with a successful LBO, as an expression of pure capitalism. (I've, at times, thought it would be quite fun to go into finance, and play with commodities, and being a corporate raider...)
A lawyer who can f%&k someone on behalf of his client, while, literally, f$*%9g his own client, and billing said client for it, has achieved a pure expression of being a shyster.
He should be drummed out of the profession... but you also have expect to see small shrines set up to him in the halls of litigation firms, and moot court teams...
