He's fired for being a stereotypical lawyer

Lawyers don't need anything else helping the lousy perception a lot of people have about them. Naturally that makes this tale much more appealing.
John Duncan got fired in October from a big law firm in Maine. Judging by this report, it sounds like he did everything but tie damsels in distress to the train tracks while twiddling his mustache...
Duncan, a 29-year veteran of Verrill Dana, was fired Oct. 28, about five months after his legal secretary first raised questions about $77,500 in checks Duncan had written to himself from a client, Gregg Ginn, a partner at Verrill Dana, told the paper. Duncan has repaid the money, according to the paper, but there could be more. Ginn said over the years Duncan overbilled clients, stole money from private accounts, and directed money meant for the firm to himself.It's not just Johnny facing the music. The state bar might put the firm's nuts in a vise and spin the handle a few times for them not talking about this sooner.
