Lawyer of the Month: August Reader Poll

August seemed like it was a relatively lazy month for lawyers. Nobody did anything too crazy — except, of course, for our Lawyer of the Month nominees. As usual, we’ve got some pretty interesting characters in our line up for the honored and revered title.

Which attorney allegedly got a blow job from a client in the county jail? Which judge allegedly drew a bull’s-eye on an attorney’s picture and displayed it in his courtroom? And which attorney allegedly tried to extort jewels and riches from her former flame, a lawyerly Lothario?

Take a look at our nominees for August’s Lawyer of the Month and find out….

Here are your choices, along with a description of each nominee’s alleged conduct. As always, the criteria for Lawyer of the Month are whatever you guys think the criteria should be.

Curtis Cannon: This fellow stands accused not of offering client service, but of being serviced by a client, instead. Cannon reportedly gave his client a high five while she was doing the deed. His excuse for his alleged behavior? He apparently hadn’t had sex with his wife in 14 years. Poor guy.
Sasha Intriago: This lovely lawyerly lady allegedly took some extremely inappropriate action when her illicit relationship with a fellow attorney ended — she came up with a harebrained extortion scheme in exchange for not telling his wife about his extramarital philandering. Ahh, romance in Jersey.
Justice Arthur Schack: This Brooklyn Supreme Court judge has been accused of some pretty untoward actions, namely, drawing a bull’s-eye on a Cozen O’Connor partner’s picture and displaying these “Wanted” posters all over his courtroom. Hope this won’t be a kill shot for his career.
Judge Vincent Sgueglia: This gun-toting jurist accidentally discharged a revolver while sitting in his chambers during a break in court proceedings. Don’t worry, he had a conceal-carry permit… one that he approved all by himself. Silly, judge, that’s not allowed. Needless to say, he’s retiring.
