She was probably trying to pay off her huge school debt, and that her practice wasn't really taking off...She maybe the only attorney at her practice...and now she may even be disbarred....
The fact is, a lot of people (especially women) go into Law School and graduate school, with the mentality that they can continue on their frivilous practices (sextapes, twitterpics, prostitution, etc) as they did before they became Doctor's attorneys, businesspeople, in fact in many cases they believe that they can get away with it, and that they have a right to do it...
Baiscally, she been making poor judgement calls, which calls into question about how good of a attorney she really is, not how good of a lay she is.
