Just...no words...Lawyer who repeatedly makes sexual advances on women.
in violation of prior court orders, gets to keep his license as long as he no longer represents women.
Did you catch that whopper? Mayo has already been ordered to stop representing women, and he's allegedly violated the order 11 times. So this new ban means what exactly?
Of course, the women that Mayo is no longer supposed to represent are in the worst situations. Mayo is accused of representing women in domestic violence cases. One allegation against him is that he offered to waive attorney fees in exchange for a massage.
Did the Connecticut State Bar look at the allegations against him and say, "You know, you should really be representing the allegedly abusive husbands in these cases. That is your true calling!"

(At least the comments from those who share the bar with this jerk mostly acknowledge he is at least a jerk, and that he shares honors in that category with the disciplinary committee which cooked up this inane punishment.)
