How not to practice law: ask client to pay fees with drugs

Here is a new addition to my on-going list of real stories that illustrate some relatively simple/straighforward things you should not do... or, as I like to call it, my how not to practice law examples.

The Legal Profession blog is reporting today that a laywer in California has been suspended for two years after he was convicted of one count of felony cocaine possession after it was shown that he accepted crack cocaine from a client as payment of a $175 bill. To be reinstated, the lawyer will also have to show he successfully completed a rehabilitation program and will have to pass the MPR Exam again.
