A lawyer who was disbarred in a high profile firm eventually was able to regain his license and I think he set up a company that provides doc review services or something like that

Yes this is real



Florida lawyers that rape their clients and get disbarred go to NY and become doctors.

Yes this real.

I gotta admit, if I’m one of his criminal clients, I’d be high-fiving him at that point.

They get other jobs.

I don't know why you think they'd be total wrecks. It's traumatic to lose your career and have to figure something else out, but they are not inherently bad at working. Most people are disbarred for mishandling client funds, often (not always) with good intentions but bad practice.

I don't know but I'm a lawyer and it would feel beyond horrible for it to happen, but shifting into another career would not be the end of the world. There are many options. I'd lick my wounds and move on.

I knew a very nice one who worked as a paralegal for local government. I never asked what he did. He was very careful about unauthorized practice of law.

I suspect a lot of the them turn out to be total wrecks, but I've heard a lot actually become successful in business, real estate etc.
