Among other things this lawyer was also evicted from her apartment last year. I'm not sure if a landlord can evict when UAP is occurring on premises. Could have been non-payment of rent or another violation of the rental agreement as well.

Just learned her license was administratively suspended. Made enough of a mess that her bar finds her no longer fit to practice before investigation takes place.

The attorney in question ended up essentially retiring and died within a couple years. He was older and an alcoholic, so this wasn't surprising. The judge had suggested a rehab program but I don't know if he went.

You mention he was an alcoholic three times.

We aren't practicing lawyers and she wasn't required to be a lawyer, but I wish I had known. She was disbarred for abusing client funds (just stopped doing work, didn't show up). She is now doing the same things to me as well (not doing work). She never says she's a lawyer, but does tell people where she went to law school. She doesn't know that I know she was disbarred.
