Sex And Adderall

An attorney has been suspended by the Alabama Supreme Court for 180 days based on a conditional guilty plea

 During the interview with the Office of General Counsel, Pradat initially denied having engaged in any type of sexual relationship with the client. Pradat subsequently admitted to having a consensual relationship with the client but claimed it was during a period of time in which he was not actively representing the client in any legal matter. Pradat also initially denied asking any client to procure prescription medication on his behalf, but later admitted to providing money to a client and having the client procure Adderall on his behalf. Pradat also borrowed trust account funds belonging to a client without complying with Rule 1.8(a), Ala. R. Prof. C. In addition, Pradat commingled personal and client funds in his trust account and failed to properly maintain trust account records.
