Lawyerly Lairs

Lawyerly Lairs: A Disbarred Lawyer’s $11 Million Beach House

The house is up for sale -- so the disgraced plaintiffs' lawyer can repay the clients he defrauded.

The media room aka home theater is sizable (pour one out for Paul Walker):

186 Dune Road 9

The best party space in the whole house is the killer deck, overlooking the ocean, with a pool and hot tub for good measure:

186 Dune Road 13

It’s just a few short steps away from the beach:

The ultra-modern interior decoration might not be to everyone’s liking — some of the rooms remind me of Alan Dershowitz’s polarizing former home — but wall coverings and furniture are easily changed. The house itself is, without a doubt, a true trophy property.

Let’s hope that the home sells for a hefty price — for the sake of Stuart Schlesinger’s defrauded clients, who suffered terrible losses and have not yet received a dime in settlement money.
