We have seen stories like this before but it is notable that the discipline imposed is for an attempt to violate the rules of professional conduct. That is not so common, although we did see another example last year in a similar case (see here).
In this new case, the client apparently did not have enough money to pay the lawyer what he said his services would cost, so he told the client she could pay him by having sex with him. Like I said, we have seen cases like this before, but in this one we have the transcript of the actual conversation in which the lawyer explained the transaction he had in mind. Don't follow the link if you are easily offended by language of a sexual nature. Here is the link to the story which includes the transcript of the conversation. The decision of the court, which also includes the transcript, is here.
Eventually, the lawyer had his law license "annulled" which I assume is akin to a permanent disbarment.
