Ohio attorney suspended over hypnosis allegations

[UglyGreed]

CLEVELAND (AP) — An attorney accused of hypnotizing women for his sexual pleasure was immediately suspended from practicing law by the state Supreme Court.

The Lorain County Bar Association filed an emergency motion last week with the court seeking the suspension of Sheffield Village attorney Michael Fine. The court suspended Fine on Monday. A court spokesman said Tuesday that it's rare for the court to suspend an attorney before a disciplinary hearing.

Fine's attorney, Robert Housel, said that Fine agreed to the suspension and was undergoing medical treatment. Housel would not say what kind of treatment Fine was receiving.

Two women Fine represented have told authorities they believed they were hypnotized because they would lose track of time and could not recall what was discussed after meetings and phone calls with him
