Just found out my attorney was arrested for something similar, but yet a higher amount. Seems there would be some kind of law that states they have to disclose that kind of information to a potential client.

I am surprised that an attorney would still be allowed to practice if they have pending criminal charges. I understand that the Bar Association would suspend their license pending the outcome of the case.
