- Stealing (and "borrowing") client funds
- Retaining funds that rightfully belong to others
- Using undue influence to inherit client wealth
- Diverting fees from one's law partners
- Premature withdrawal of earned fees
- Coercing desperate clients into physical relationships
- Sending lewd texts and messages to clients
- Conditioning representation upon sex
- Leading the client on about a possible relationship
