New York Lawyer Disbarred for Being an Asshole

These aren't my words, this is what the Village Voice says about attorney Kenneth Heller (pictured to the left):

No other lawyer in the city but Heller, according to records of his disciplinary hearing, has been ousted for "obstructive and offensive behavior which did not involve fraud or deception."

Heller was disbarred for basically "being an asshole," as one adversary puts it. And in their profession, the rival adds, "that takes some doing." 

Check it out! Here is a little preview of how Heller reacted to a judge he disagreed with: When Judge Howard Silver walked by Heller in the courtroom, he bellowed "Kiss my tuchis!" and then spat at him!

No surprise here. Worse, lawyers like this seem to be a joke for those in power if the commentary on the WHCA dinner i to be believed.

"With that he pulled out one of his classics, Johnny Carson, with a joke about lawyers being “assholes,” which drew a laugh from the president, despite the off-color language."
