ATL Practice Pointers: If You Want a BJ From Your Client, Put It in the Retention Letter

Monica Lewinsky Monica S Lewinsky Monica Lewinsky Monica Samille Lewinsky.JPGThis next story is not new; it was reported last year by CBS. But we have an update to bring you, via YouTube, which is why we’re revisiting it.

For those of you who missed it, here’s a quick recap:

[A] woman was referred to a lawyer to represent her in a car accident case. But what she experienced in the meetings with that 72-year-old attorney later led her to file a formal criminal complaint with the NYPD….

The 47-year old woman — who has asked CBS 2 not to reveal her identity — claims that during her initial visit to lawyer Allen Isaac, he asked her for oral sex as part of his fee for taking her personal injury case.

“He said I’m going to want oral sex from you. I’m going to want it twice before the case begins, then I’m going to want it every week after if I get you a very good result,” she said.

Now that’s what we call a “success fee.”

More discussion, plus the recently uploaded YouTube clip, after the jump.

Still from the CBS piece:

The following is an exchange [that the woman secretly recorded] about his request for oral sex:

Man: “Something special, 30 seconds of pleasure. Thirty seconds a big deal?”

Woman: “You’re not my boyfriend. We’ve never gone out.”

Man: “So? So?”

Woman: “And you’re my lawyer, representing me on my case.”

Man: “And I never went out with you either. “

Later in the meeting, the woman says she felt intimidated by Isaac:

Man: “What did I ask you for a simple what?”

Woman: “A blow job.”

Man: “And I get this speech. Am I going to get it?”

Pretty incredible, right? But the woman appears to have evidentiary support for her claims. Listen to this audio clip, which was recently posted to YouTube (embed below). The male speaker sounds like, well, a dirty old man. But it’s kinda hard not to, when you’re (1) 72 years old and (2) asking your client to go down on you.

The phrase “thirty seconds of pleasure” recurs throughout the exchange. In our view, that seems to be on the short side. A BJ that fleeting would be nothing to write home about. It certainly wouldn’t set off any car alarms, would it?
