A judge in Bakersfield got fired a few years back for the same type of thing.  Private dances in his chambers for favors.

I always suggest a trade with providers for the services I offer. Though I'm not a lawyer. I sell certain high end products. I haven't got a bite on someone who is interested in the trade yet but I will keep on trying. :-)

Is barter specifically prohibited for payment of legal fees, as long as taxes are paid on the fair value of the service?

If not, then is nude lap dancing illegal?  It would seem not (Although taking place in his business office may violate zoning laws.)

So is the whole fuss over his "inappropriate touching"?

What exactly is the lawyer getting ragged on for?

that if he had been bartering legal services for other services provided by say, a CPA who also happened to be a power broker with whom he could secure unfair advantage in some public matter, nobody would even sneeze about it.

Which presents to more unethical and dangerous element to the public?

This is sexual repression and discrimination, pure and simple.

fiduciary matters and fighting for the best interests of their clients.  Probably most are sufficiently ethical, although there are often lapses and these tend to get a lot of play in the papers.

I have no problem with my lawyer enjoying a lap dance now and then and if he wants to trade that with helping the dancer get a legal matter taken care of, it's no skin off my nose.

Ask yourselves this:

If it was a licensed electrican, or an engineer, or a doctor, or a hair dresser who was getting the lap dance, do you think that their professional license should be suspended too?

Why the big deal about it being a lawyer?
