The aptly named Thomas Lowe...

The defense rests. And lights a cig.

He brought a woman to suicide and they suspend him for 15 months? What does it take to actually get in trouble?

I hate to say it, but Thomas Lowe, Esq is one of those 95% of lawyers who give the other 5% a bad name.

This guy uses my own personal investment strategy: it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I'll bet he was planning on asking the court to order the husband to pay the wife's legal bills. Double screwing him.

well u really cant make that stuff up. what a skank.

Gee... Normally you pay a lawyer and don't get anything for your money.

"A man who answered the phone at Lowe's office Monday said Lowe was unavailable. "

Oh sure, now he's unavailable.

This guy and MI supreme court justice who's been indicted for bank fraud really give lawyers a worse name than they had already.

Don't care. Had our new mattress delivered yesterday. Life's a beach.

So, his punishment is to not practice law for a while. Wow, that is harsh.

He should at least have to stand before a judge and get some solid exposure to the firm use of a gavel, IYCMD.

So he bills in 3 minute increments?

Nope, those 3 minutes are rounded up to an hour.

I'll bet it did it pro bone.

I hate to say this (because my sister is a non-practicing attorney) but is anyone really surprised by this?

In his defense, he WAS working her case.
