Lawyer Says "Intimate Relationship" with Clients Equals Better Representation

December 6th, 2011

Bankruptcy lawyer, Zenas Zelotes, is "appealing a disciplinary panel recommendation" for disciplinary action based on his intimate relationship with a client he represented in a divorce case. Arguing clients are "better off if they are in a romantic relationship with their lawyers," Zelotes says he'll take the matter all the way to the Supreme Court, the ABA Journal reports.

Wow! This probably explains why he is not a divorce lawyer, and will not be a lawyer for much longer!
