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.
