Some Business

A North Carolina attorney has been charged with misconduct with a client he was defending in a criminal matter.

When the client expressed concerned about travel costs for a hearing that was continued, Respondent allegedly said he could help her if she gave him “some business” which she interpreted as performing a sex act for compensation.

He allegedly brought the request up again in a phone conversation.

What about the business we talked about? Well, do you want to come by?

She took an Uber to his law office, where she asked

What are we going to do?

Alleged reply

Well, nothing that’s going to be illegal. I’m not looking for any kind of oral, anal, or vaginal sex.

He then allegedly offered $100 for a “hand job” plus $60 for the Uber.

She left without any contact or payment.

He was charged with and pled guilty to misdemeanor solicitation of prostitution. (Mike Frisch)
