Since L.A. Judge Charles Lee was our Lawyer of 1984, we're giving a different attorney Lawyer of the Day honors. Joseph Levine of New York is helping to give a bad name to both lawyers and gamblers.

He's pleaded guilty to second-degree grand larceny, after stealing more than $400,000 from his clients, including money that was to be used for heart surgery for his client's daughter. That's cold.

From Newsday:

"I think this case underscores the pitfalls of compulsive gambling," said Levine's attorney, Michael Soshnick of Mineola.

A spokesman for District Attorney Kathleen Rice said Levine advised one of his clients to accept a $300,000 settlement in a personal injury lawsuit. He then asked her insurance carrier for the money immediately, saying she needed it to pay for her daughter's heart surgery.

After getting the check, Levine returned to New York, forged the signature of his client and her husband and deposited the check in his own bank account, police said.

By the time the client notified the DA's office, Levine's bank account stood at -$139.44. Having an account with a negative balance after stealing almost half a million dollars? That's just embarrassing.

Charles Lee is a UVA Law grad, former Latham & Watkins-ite , soon-to-be-retired judge in L.A. Superior Court, and "Chef de Mission" for the 2008 Olympics. But back in 1984, he was the lawyer who saved the Olympic Games.

Beijing has its hands full this year with pollution, rioting migrant workers, and sea-blanketing algae blooms in the Olympics sailing venue. Back in 1984, Los Angeles faced a challenge of a different sort. The Soviet Union was using the Olympics to strike a blow in the ongoing Cold War, calling for a boycott of the summer games. China was one of the countries on the boycott list.

The New York Times reports that Mandarin-speaking Lee helped bring China into the good old Olympics-loving fold:

When the 1984 Games were first being organized, [Olympics organizing committee leader Peter] Ueberroth became aware of Lee when Lee's law firm worked on the organizing committee's bylaws. When he needed someone fluent in Mandarin as an envoy, Ueberroth remembered Lee...

On his trip in May 1984, Lee said, he and his group were welcomed enthusiastically by the Chinese sports ministers in Beijing. After a series of meetings, the ministers told him China would come to the Games. Lee pressed them to give him a letter he could take back to Ueberroth.

"Initially when they said, 'We're coming,' they believed since they said it, there's no need for anything in writing," Lee said. "I just kept asking and asking. Finally they very graciously gave me the letter, which was a fantastic thing."

Not the most dramatic play by play, but negotiations don't really tend to be terribly exciting. Except for the letter at the end -- woo-hoo! We heart written contracts.

[Ed. note: As noted over at her personal blog, Kash is currently in Hong Kong. She's interning at the International Herald Tribune, where she will be working on coverage of the 2008 Olympics (among other things). Look for similar Asia- or Olympics-themed posts from her in the future.]

Phone Call From China Transformed '84 Games [New York Times]

Kennan DeWitt is an assistant prosecutor in Michigan who has gotten himself into a sticky situation. He met with a woman he had successfully prosecuted while she was out on a work-release program. At her motel.

(Note to self: try not to arrange meetings at motels, due to the sleazy overtones.)

From ABC 12:

An assistant Genesee County prosecutor has been suspended without pay after authorities say he planned to meet a woman for sex who he put behind bars in a $1.1 million embezzlement case.

On Friday, prosecutor David Leyton announced that 46-year-old Kennan M. DeWitt was under police investigation for what authorities called "inappropriate contact" with 44-year-old Dana Bacon.

DeWitt denies the allegations. It seems like resentment over being sent to prison deter romantic feelings between the two. But weirder things have certainly happened.

"Allegations that a hotel room is involved and an allegation that when police showed up at a hotel room, that the assistant prosecutor ran," said Lapeer County Prosecutor Byron Konschuh. "All those are not good signs."

Indeed. For future "consultations" with defendants, what's wrong with the local Starbucks?

These allegations are unconfirmed. We pass them along merely because everyone is talking about them -- and you want to know what everyone is talking about, even if it turns out to be inaccurate, which is why you read sites like this one.

From Ken Layne of Wonkette (whose post has received, as of the time of this posting, 35,682 page views):

This may come as a shock, but a prominent anti-homosexual Republican attorney general has apparently been caught having homosexual sex intercourse with his homosexual gay male assistant. Bonus: The dude's wife caught him, in their bed. This is the rumor that the AG's office has officially denied, so now of course everybody is spilling the sordid details.

AG in question is Troy King, who, of course, is only interested in outlawing homosexuality and sex toys. His gay lover is either a college "buddy," or a very young youngster and "Homecoming King" from Troy University. What are the odds of a dude named Troy King getting caught in bed with a Homecoming King from Troy University? This seems like a wacky sitcom plot, on a gay porn channel. (Is this what that Will & Grace was about?)

Based on his headshot, the boyishly appealing King is something of a hottie (at least by state attorney general standards; maybe we should have a state AG hotties contest, since they're all public figures and fair game). But we were still amused by the reaction of Wonkette commenter "HomoPolitico": "What really pisses me off is that THIS guy is nailing prime college jock ass and I'm not."

We also liked this quip, a few comments down in the thread: "Wait? A bed!? Not a truck stop or a bathroom stall? What a conservative."

Anti-Gay Alabama A.G. Caught Being Gay [Wonkette]

No, not that George Bush (although when George W. Bush was young and irresponsible, he was young and irresponsible). Meet George deVallon Bush, a prominent criminal defense attorney in Augusta, Georgia. From the Augusta Chronicle:

[George Bush] was taken into custody at a Broad Street bar as the result of an ongoing investigation, Sheriff Ronnie Strength said Monday night.

He is charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, according to jail records. Sheriff Strength said the arrest was part of a two-week investigation by the federal Drug Enforcement Agency and Richmond County sheriff's narcotics agents.

"Mr. Bush was arrested without incident about 5 p.m. at Ballroom Billiards, 978 Broad Street, with a half-ounce of cocaine in his pocket," Sheriff Strength said.

"That's a little more than typically used for personal use," said Richmond County sheriff's Sgt. Greg Meagher.

Sergeant Meagher, you're talking about an attorney, dammit. Please revise your blow consumption estimate upward.

Mr. Bush is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and the University of Georgia. He opened his Fourth Street law practice in 1994.

In November 2000, Mr. Bush was featured in Mademoiselle magazine in a beef-cake style election spoof about the Republican presidential candidate who shares his name.

And now perhaps they share more than just a name. Congratulations, Mr. Bush -- you're our Lawyer of the Day.

Attorney arrested on drug charges [Augusta Chronicle]

Who is Howard Kieffer? Well, if you Google him, this bio on the Association of Federal Defense Attorneys will be one of your first hits:

Howard Kieffer is a nationally-recognized BOP and post-conviction specialist based in Santa Ana, California, just south of Los Angeles. He frequently works as a consultant with defense attorneys nationwide and has lectured at numerous conferences, including programs presented by NACDL, the ABA and AFDA.

Mr. Kieffer is the founder and moderator of BOPWatch, a Yahoo-based online news service that provides daily coverage on BOP topics and general news pertaining to federal criminal enforcement. To visit or sign up for BOPWatch, go to the following web address: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BOPWatch/

According to the Denver Post, Kieffer's expertise on the Bureau of Prisons comes from being inside one... serving time for grand theft and filing false tax returns. He may be headed back to prison soon for misrepresenting himself as a licensed attorney.

Kieffer claimed to have a law degree from Antioch School of Law (nope), claimed to be a member of the ABA and National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (nope), and claimed to be admitted to practice law in North Dakota (nope). He did manage to gain membership to the Federal Bar Association.

A California man misrepresented himself as a licensed attorney in at least 16 cases at 10 federal courts since 2004, including the case of an NHL player who pleaded guilty to hiring a hitman to kill his agent and a murder-for-hire trial involving an Aspen woman, according to records obtained by The Denver Post.

Clients and lawyers knew Howard O. Kieffer, 52, as a capable attorney specializing in federal sentencing and plea negotiations through the Santa Ana, Calif.-based Federal Defense Associates legal office, where he worked as executive director.

Sometimes practicing law is more about balls than a law degree. More on how Kieffer duped just about everybody, after the jump.

This actually happened late last week, so perhaps David Jones should be our "Lawyer of a Few Days Ago." We apologize for the tardiness. But we aren't regular readers of the Fresno Bee:

A former prosecutor accused of stealing the identity of his former mistress and posting sexually explicit items about her online pleaded guilty Thursday to one charge of false impersonation.

David Evan Jones, 46, who pleaded not guilty in February to three felony charges, was in Fresno County Superior Court on Thursday for his preliminary hearing when he entered the guilty plea. Charges of stalking and identity theft were dismissed.

A prosecutor pretending to be a woman online -- what's the big deal? We have some experience in that department.

But wait, there's more:

Jones was accused of using Ramos' personal information to create fake online profiles of Ramos and post sexually explicit messages on two Web sites to entice men to contact her for sex.

The postings included information about where Ramos lived and worked and the location of a Starbucks she frequented near her home.

Ramos, 42, told investigators she was Jones' girlfriend for six years, but she broke off the relationship after Jones refused to divorce his wife.

Maybe Jones doesn't want to divorce his wife. But in light of this scandal, the feeling may not be mutual.

Today's Lawyer of the Day hails from the other side of the pond. From the London Times:

A City lawyer who is demanding £19 million in compensation for work-place bullying faked a nervous breakdown to secure a larger payout, an employment tribunal was told.

Gill Switalski, 51, the former head of legal affairs at Foreign & Colonial (F&C), an asset management company, pretended that her ordeal left her unfit to work so that she could sue for loss of future earnings, it was claimed yesterday.

While Ms Switalski claimed that bullying from male colleagues had left her in such poor mental health that she was "unable to read a newspaper", she was being interviewed for jobs at two rival City firms at about the same time, F&C's lawyers said. One interview led to a lucrative job offer at a rival asset manager that Ms Switalski initially accepted before changing her mind.

Faking a breakdown to earn millions -- and maybe an Oscar, too? Sounds like Switalski should be a movie star.

Since Switalski's performance was apparently compelling enough to get two tribunals to rule in her favor (the current proceedings are about damages), we say: give her the £19 million. Or at least £12 million, the equivalent in British pounds of what a top American actress might earn per picture.

Like so many ATL Lawyers of the Day that have been honored before him, Gerald Hamelburg falls into the camp of attorneys who practice the law but don't respect it. Hamelburg has gotten caught up in a "disabled placard abuser" sting.

A similar scam was run in this episode of Desperate Housewives. Gaby Solis (Eva Longoria) takes advantage of her husband Carlos's blindness to get a disabled parking sticker and score sweet parking spots.

But Hamelburg had it even better -- he got to park for free, too. From the Boston Globe:

He lives in one of Wellesley's most exclusive neighborhoods, owns a $1.8 million Nantucket vacation home, and has a small fleet of luxury cars at his disposal. But when Gerald Hamelburg drives downtown, he doesn't like to pay his way, according to investigators with the state inspector general's office.

The Boston lawyer, they say, uses his deceased mother's handicapped placard to park his Mercedes convertible, free of charge, at meters near the High Street firm that bears his name...

According to an investigator's report, Hamelburg seemed unclear about what he had done wrong.

"He denied that he was 'displaying' the placard," wrote the investigator, who videotaped this week's exchange, "and stated that it was merely 'hanging there.' He questioned why he was being sanctioned for the use this time, saying that he had used it 'half a dozen times' before that and 'no one' had ever had an issue with his use of the placard before. [The trooper] asked him why he believed that was an appropriate defense to his having committed a serious violation by using the placard illegally. Hamelburg had no response to his question."

Not the most impressive defense skills there. We assume that this is his law firm: Greenbaum, Nagel, Fisher and Hamelburg, though he gets no love (or bio write-up) on their website. The Massachusetts crackdown turned up hundred of placard abusers, and Hamelburg wasn't the only attorney among them: "Among the worst violators were a state lawyer and his wife."

This may sound cold-hearted, but we can't help wondering: We understand the disabled getting premium parking spots close to building entrances, but why do they score free parking, too?

When this answer in a Texas personal injury suit dropped into our tips inbox, our jaws dropped. Overlawyered also noted it yesterday. Here's an excerpt from the Defendant's Original Answer in Henry v. Maersk Line Limited:

The full non-redacted answer is available after the jump. We called up the filing attorney to find out how this became an actual filing. Turns out it didn't. Houston partner David Ayers is being honored with Lawyer of the Day for being able to take a joke.

The legal profession is populated by some colorful characters -- like our latest Lawyer of the Day, Jack Tuckner. From the New York Post:

A leading lower Manhattan women's-rights lawyer watched porn at his desk, discussed his "pierced genitalia" and wears a "slave" collar at work as part of a sadomasochistic relationship with his girlfriend, a shocking sex- harassment suit alleges.

Jack Tuckner, 50, whose law firm says it's "dedicated to the empowerment of women in the workplace," is a "self-described 'testosterone-poisoned' attorney with a penchant for bondage . . . who demeaned all of the women who worked for him," says the suit.

It was filed yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court by former office manager Lisa Brockington.

But if the slave-collar-wearing Tuckner is the "sub" in the S&M setup, doesn't that make it okay? Isn't he the one being demeaned, rather than the one doing the demeaning?

More after the jump.

The Washington Post's Reliable Source column has a short piece about Holland & Knight partner Thomas Brownell, who apparently got a little too caught up in a family feud over a property in Virginia wine country. Brownell doesn't look like much of a fighter in his firm mug shot, but allegedly, he throws a mean punch:

In criminal charges and a new lawsuit, the [Oasis Winery] founder's son alleges his mom's attorney slugged him. Tareq Salahi claims his mother, Corinne Salahi -- with whom he is fighting for control of the estate -- wrongly moved some chairs from his house to the winery; when he moved them back, he claims, her lawyer, Thomas Brownell, punched him in the shoulder and threw him into a door. "Tareq is a big man; it takes a lot of force to do that," said the younger Salahi's attorney, Stephanie Ryan, who last week filed suit in Fairfax County against Brownell and his firm, Holland & Knight.

Use your words, not your fists -- that's what moms say. Do they teach that in law school?

In Va. Wine Country: Musical Chairs Followed by Punch [Washington Post]

Today's Lawyer of the Day would have had a great "Behind the Music" story, if only had his ploy worked. From Friday's Chicago Tribune:

A lawyer was booted from the Cook County Criminal Courts Building today after attempting to foist his own music CD on R. Kelly in the courtroom where his trial is taking place.

Attorney Mike Roman approached Kelly on Friday morning while the singer was sitting alone at the defense table. With his lawyers and the prosecutors meeting privately in the judge's chambers, the R&B superstar was left to fend off the man's overture.

Roman -- a local criminal-defense lawyer who fronts the Latin rock band, Mike Roman and the Tellstars, in his spare time -- offered Kelly a free copy of his CD "Cha Cha Time." Kelly, 41, is considered one of the music industry's most prolific songwriters and producers....

"I'm a lawyer and I'm musician," Roman told the authorities. "What's wrong with that?"

Do you really want us to answer that? We've been to your website.

Roman cooperated with his removal -- but not before trying to sell a "Cha Cha Time" CD to one of Kelly's defense attorneys for $15.

From the snippets on Mike Roman and The Tellstars website, we doubt R. Kelly would have dug the music even if he'd taken the cd.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Cha Cha time."

We already named Adam Kutner our Lawyer of the Day, so Richard Dienst will have to settle for a less lofty title: Alleged Groper of the Day.

We commend the fast-acting webmaster of Queller, Fisher, Dienst, Serrins, Washor & Kool. The firm website, which occupies the valuable cyber real estate of accidents.com, no longer features Dienst's bio on the Our Lawyers page.

But Dienst, one of the firm's founders, is also a name partner. Fixing that may take a little longer.

Update: Via a commenter, here is Richard Dienst's bio.

Lawyer Arrested in Groping Case [AP]

We might have made this Las Vegas personal injury attorney, Adam S. Kutner, our Lawyer of the Day for his nifty website alone. His initials, A.S.K., provide the site's dominating logo, and when you surf in, Kutner turns to look at you.

Via this Nevada legal blog, Wild Wild Law, we came across this article in Las Vegas City Life, which portrays Kutner as the worst boss ever. Wild Wild Law has compiled a list of the alleged abuses from the story. Some highlights:

menacing secretaries with a golf club;

calling support staff "Fat b**ches," "F***ing dumb-asses," "C**ts," and "Morons";

saying Hispanics were lazy and stupid to his mostly Hispanic staff;

bragging about his sexual conquests to support staff;

getting in screaming fits when he doesn't get the right type of water on his desk (Fiji);

having employees occasionally shave his neck;

punching a hole in the drywall with a door knob in a fit of anger.

That's a scrubbed and abridged version. Read the complete list over here.

Sounds like the man has some anger management issues. Lots of discrimination complaints, law suits, and counter suits are in the works.

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.

If this post had a theme song, it would be the Velvet Underground's Waiting for The Man, in which Lou Reed sings about waiting for his heroin dealer. In this Lawyer of the Day version, though, it would be a murder suspect waiting in a prison cell for his lawyer to deliver the goods.

Nathan Billmaier, a Chicago attorney, allegedly tried to smuggle drugs to his client in a Cook County jail. From the Chicago Tribune:

Attorney Nathan Billmaier, 34, of the 1900 block of West Potomac Avenue, was found Monday with nine flattened tinfoil packages that contained 4 ounces of marijuana, 4 ounces of contraband tobacco, six Ecstasy tablets and 40 matches, Sheriff Thomas Dart said in a news release.

Billmaier, who was charged with one count of bringing contraband into a penal institution and one count of possession with intent to deliver, was released on $150,000 bail after a Tuesday hearing, Dart said.

The drugs and cigarettes were intended for inmate Donald Jordan, who is in custody for murder, violation of parole and a previous charge of possessing contraband in jail, he added.

On its website, Billmaier's firm, Stanley L. Hill & Associates, promises a "multi-ethnic, multi-cultural group of hard-working, highly qualified, dedicated professionals, each with a personal commitment to client satisfaction and personal touch that distinguishes us from other firms." Billmaier may have taken the commitment to client satisfaction a bit too far.

The inanity of Kevin Federline's fame never ceases to amaze. He has achieved widespread recognition by shacking up with Britney Spears, making some babies, and creating some bad music.

K-Fed has garnered enough media attention that there's some excess for his attorney. Mark Vincent Kaplan is interviewed by the AP this week. He talks about the custody proceedings over Spears and K-Fed's two children and how the case has helped his career:

The case is arguably among the most significant in the attorney's 34-year career, and Kaplan said it has inspired personal satisfaction and professional growth.

"Very few lawyers get the opportunity that this case has presented on every possible issue you can think of," he continued. "Even fewer lawyers recognize the opportunity, and even a smaller percentage of those have the (guts) to go for the opportunity."

Of course being around celebrity has perks of its own.

"It's made it possible to not have to make reservations at a restaurant," he said, "but that too shall pass."

Celebrity divorces and custody battles seem like a nice niche. No reservations needed at restaurants. He gets to use the paparazzi to do his research instead of hiring private investigators (like that no-good Pellicano guy).

His quote seems a little defensive, though. Maybe because there's a good percentage of attorneys who wouldn't want their name followed by "aka K-Fed's attorney."

We spotlighted Kaplan previously as a Lawyer to Layabout Lovers. He also served as counsel to Chris Judd, another back-up dancer turned celebrity husband, in his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Sometimes it's hard to keep the law civil. But when you feel your temper rising, resist the urge to call opposing counsel a "jackass." And if opposing counsel calls you a jackass, resist the urge to retort by calling his mother a jackass.

Two Louisiana lawyers, Douglas H. Greenburg and Anthony P. Lewis, did not heed this advice, and now they've been reprimanded by the state attorney discipline board. Debra Cassens Weiss reports on the reprimand in the ABA Journal:

Greenburg is the former district attorney of Terrebonne Parish, according to a story published by the Courier at the time of the incident. Lewis had a private practice and was also an assistant district attorney in Lafourche Parish, the story said.

Lewis told the publication that he and Greenburg have a "long-standing mutual dislike" based on disagreements over each others’ manner of trial practice.

Lewis told the Courier that the incident began when Greenburg accused him of wrongdoing. Lewis retorted that Greenburg was still trying to prosecute, prompting Greenburg's jackass comment and Lewis' jackass retort, he said. At that point, Lewis said, Greenburg lunged at him, grabbed his lapel and knocked him over, causing a temporary blackout. Greenburg told police he grabbed Lewis' collar but he did not push him, the story says.

It seems like it's always the boy attorneys who lock horns in court. When is someone going to send us a good courthouse catfight story?

Reprimand Recommended for Lawyers Who Fought After Trading ‘Jackass’ Barbs [ABA Journal]

Divorce attorney turned hit man employer, Manuel Martinez, is ATL's Lawyer of the Day. Martha Neil reports in the ABA Journal that the New York ex-lawyer was sentenced to 25 years to life for hiring a hit man to kill his client's husband 18 years ago, "during a bitter divorce trial." That's really bitter.

From the New York Daily News:

Martinez reportedly collected $100,000 for hiring the hit man who fired three bullets into George Kogan on Oct. 23, 1990, as the victim lingered outside his girlfriend's E. 69th St. apartment....

Martinez was "a lawyer who became a murderer," Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann told the Supreme Court jury in Manhattan.

The jury deliberated three days before convicting the lawyer of second-degree murder and soliciting. Prosecutors said Martinez admitted his involvement in Kogan's death to his ex-wife and an ex-con pal.

The lawyer was actually indicted a decade ago while serving a prison term in Mexico on unrelated charges.

From a Mexican prison for drug charges to a U.S. prison for murder charges. We wonder if this guy snickered his way through the lawyer's oath.

Martinez's client, Barbara Kogan, collected $4 million in insurance money after her husband's murder, but she's hanging out uncharged in Puerto Rico. "To say that this is an unusual case may be the understatement of my career," the ruling judge, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus, said.

We couldn't choose between these two possible Lawyers of the Day, so we'll let them go head to head. You can decide who's the more deserving honoree.

In one corner, we have John Newsome, a district attorney in Colorado. Sources inside and outside the district attorney's office tipped off a local TV station to Newsome's carousing during office hours. From the Colorado Springs Gazette:

The television station aired its report Tuesday night after filming Newsome on a "recent afternoon" as he drank three 20-ounce beers and a 10-ounce beer during "work hours" over the course of less than two hours at Oscar's, a downtown Colorado Springs bar.

Newsome was then shown heading back to his office. An hour later, he drove his El Paso County-owned SUV to another bar, according to KOAA.

There, Newsome was reportedly seen drinking four more pints with Assistant District Attorney Amy Mullaney and then driving away. Mullaney was also drinking with Newsome earlier that day at Oscar's.

DA party-time! Woohoo. No criminal investigation, and he's running unopposed for reelection in November. Lucky guy.

In the other corner, we have Vito Fossella, who has a law degree from Fordham University. He's the U.S. congressman from New York who got busted for drunk driving in Virginia last week.

The DUI charge has led to the unraveling of his double life. Turns out the married father of three has a lady friend and lovechild in the D.C. region. From the New York Times:

Representative Vito J. Fossella, the Staten Island Republican who was arrested on drunken-driving charges in Virginia last week, acknowledged on Thursday that he had fathered a daughter, now 3, in an extramarital affair. But he declined to address questions about his political future.

Mr. Fossella, who has three children with his wife on Staten Island, issued a terse statement that said nothing about the events leading to his arrest, which occurred hours after he attended a White House reception celebrating the New York Giants’ victory in the Super Bowl.

At least he wasn't drinking during office hours.
