Looks like in this case there was more than a professional relationship between the lawyer and her client. The client was given the privilege of receiving his dope from the attorney. Now his dope has been cut off and his lawyer needs a lawyer herself.
SAN MATEO: LAWYER PASSED DRUGS TO INMATE

REDWOOD CITY -- An attorney was arrested for allegedly smuggling drugs to an inmate at the San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City, authorities said Wednesday.
Erika Jordening, 43, of Pacifica passed an unspecified drug in pill form to Aaron Rauls, 43, at the Maguire Correctional Facility on Bradford Street on Tuesday, said San Mateo County sheriff's Lt. Larry Schumaker.
The alleged transaction occurred during a confidential attorney-client meeting, Schumaker said.
Jordening was booked at the Women's Correctional Center in Redwood City on suspicion of conspiracy and bringing contraband into a jail facility. She remained jailed Wednesday in lieu of $70,000 bail.
Rauls is being held in lieu of $35,000 bail on the same counts. He was in jail on another drug charge.
Jordening was admitted to the California State Bar in 1996. In 2004, she received a public reprimand by the State Bar Court for failing to finalize a client's divorce for more than three years, and the woman was unable to remarry during that time, records show. Jordening promised to attend the State Bar Ethics School.
