EAGAN, MINNESOTA - According to the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility a local attorney "unconditionally admitted the allegations" that he charged a client for having sex.
The 58-year-old lawyer billed a woman for meetings and drafting memos about her divorce during the time they actually spent shagging. He only charged his normal hourly rate for legal services. That's what you call a full service law practice.
Despite his impressive display of multitasking, the attorney was suspended by the Minnesota Supreme Court on January 10. He cannot file for reinstatement for at least 15 months. Don't count him out. This is the same lawyer who was placed on probation in 1997 for buying cocaine from a client.
Allegedly, the woman had a history of abuse and mental illness and had already known this attorney for several years when she hired him for her divorce in August 2011. Her run of luck continued without a break. Within days, her trusty lawyer began making passes. Their affair lasted from September 2011 to March 2012. Allegedly, the attorney simultaneously broke off their legal and sexual relationships in an attempt to save his own marriage. His rejected client tried to kill herself and disclosed the matter while she was hospitalized. Great! Now, she's in a hospital bed, on the rebound again and attended by DOCTORS. She'd better go over her medical bills VERY closely.

Kevlar for Christmas?

Every cloud has a silver lining, and this one is bulletproof.
The stock of firearms manufacturers may be plunging because of the political rhetoric to restrict US gun ownership. However, the flip side of the civilian arms race is seeing an unprecedented boom.
A Massachusetts body armor maker, called Bullet Blocker, was more creative with its products than with its name. It makes children's backpacks that look normal but are actually bulletproof. Starting Friday, sales of these knapsacks multiplied 10 times.
Amendment II is a maker of body armor based in Salt Lake City, Utah. After selling products to police and military customers for years, it began inserting bulletproof material into child backpacks six months ago. It was a small, niche item until last week. Since then, sales have skyrocketed 500%. Selling for as little at $300, the backpacks contain 10 ounces of material that will stop a bullet from a .357 Magnum handgun.
Amendment II is donating a portion of its bulletproof knapsack sales to the families of children who were killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
