Florida lawyer disbarred over sex with clients, drug use 

A Florida lawyer who had sex with her clients at a jail and used cocaine, crack, ecstasy and other drugs lost her law license, state bar officials said.

Daytona Beach public defender Linda Dawn Hadad, 43, was disbarred because she “engaged in a pattern of misconduct that included illegal drug use and sexual relationships with clients,” the Florida Bar announced in a statement Friday.

Hadad, who had been practicing in the state since 2002, had sex with two Volusia County Jail inmates so much that the warden cut down on her access to the attorney visitation area, according to court filings. She also had phone sex with inmates, the documents showed.

She admitted she took Xanax, Adderall, oxycodone and Lortabs with no prescription and also used cocaine, crack, ecstasy, marijuana, meth and acid, according to court documents cited by WFTV. Investigators said she rented cars for an inmate in exchange for drugs.

During one phone call to the jail, Hadad tried to contact a domestic violence victim on behalf of an inmate who had a no-contact order, the filings said. She also failed to show up or appeared late to her client’s court appearances and neglected at least five clients’ cases, according to the documents. Investigators said she even moved her law office without telling her clients.

Florida lawyer Linda Hadad Disbarred Over Sex With Inmates, Drug Use

Florida lawyer Linda Hadad was arrested for a DUI in 2010. Things only snowballed from there. The former public defender was recently disbarred for allegedly using pretty much every drug under the sun, and reportedly getting intimate with two inmates.

Florida Bar records show Linda Hadad admitted to using cocaine, crack ecstasy, pot, crystal meth and acid, as well as Xanax, Adderall, oxycodone and Lortab, without valid prescriptions.

She admitted she used her credit card to rent a vehicle for a man who repaid her with prescription pills and crack.

Records also said Hadad admitted to mixing business with pleasure at the jail by using her attorney access to have personal visits with two inmates, Steven Sullivan and Brandon Carson.

According to records, during a phone call, Carson talked about kissing her during their next visit, and when Hadad was asked about it, she answered, “He did kiss me one time.”

Records show during one call, Hadad told Carson, “I can’t wait to touch your (expletive). We will have to get my sex toy, too.”

And they show she told Sullivan during a call, “I miss phone sex.”

The records went on to describe sexually graphic conversations between Hadad and Sullivan.

After Hadad was questioned at length by the Florida Bar last year, she was arrested four times for driving without a license and fleeing from police.
