Adding to bad lawyer reputation – Florida attorney provides legal services for sex
The Florida Supreme Court disbarred a Florida lawyer Thursday for letting a female client pay for legal services by having sex with him.
James Harvey Tipler had earlier pled guilty to solicitation to prostitution in his criminal case. Tipler agreed to let his client, an 18-year-old woman, reduce her $2,300 fee for her assault case.
Every time he had sex with her, Tipler would reduce his fee $200. Every time she arranged for another girl to have sex with him, Tipler would reduce her fee by $400.
Tipler also altered evidence in the case against him and persuaded a witness to falsify testimony.
As if our reputation wasn’t already bad enough.
