This feature article on Law.com: "Top Gun LA Lawyer Moonlights as Porn Star" via How Appealing.
"Criminal defense attorney Ronald Miller has a second passion in life: Acting. But you may not have heard of some of his best work. As Miller told us, "Some of the movies I starred in -- personal favorites -- are the 'Justice Your Ass' series, 'The Jerry ****-her Show,' '*****bus.'" That's right. Instead of seeing him at a Cineplex, most people bring Ron's movies home -- in a brown paper bag."
According to Howard Bashman his adult web site "features enough disclaimers to make most any California lawyer proud."
Scott at LLL notes: "Finally, someone who can actually make good use of all of the dirty movie titles we came up with in law school."
Of course, this lawyer had slightly less favorable press: An Olympia lawyer appeared in court Monday on allegations that he sent nude pictures of himself to a teenage girl he was hired to represent. BTW - check out his photo. (No, not that one, you perv. The stock courtroom news photo). Looks like a cross between Mr. Clean and Biker Billy. He also managed to compound the felony:
"The attorney also is accused of tampering with a witness related to his case. Prosecutors allege that he asked a former girlfriend to tell police she was the one who sent the pictures of him to the 17-year-old. In exchange, Hunter allegedly said, he would buy his former girlfriend a new car and pay her college tuition, according to documents from the prosecutor's office."
Meanwhile, Orin Kerr of the Volokh Conspiracy notes that this lawyer is arrested for having sex with his girlfriend. . . . In a pickup truck. . . . . In Alabama.
(I thought sex in a pickup truck was a required skill on Alabama's citizenship test?)
So, let's distinguish: 1) Adults only, 2) Go pro, 3) Keep it indoors.
On a semi-related note: Overlawyered links to a Seattle attorney who filmed a commercial using "prom-dressed legal assistants called "Gallagher's Gals" to attract clients. One would imagine that the family lawyer isn't worried about alienating half of his potential clientele since he's also the author of "She's Not Your Friend - A Man's Guide To Understanding Women." See the video of the legal assistants here.
Now, not that I'm a sh*t or anything, but I happened to notice that on his about me page you can email him a legal question "for a small fee". I wonder how he'd feel about getting some feminist spam? Not that I'm saying it's worth the fee.
FKA hypothesizes that e-shaming does work to curb lawyer misconduct.
