Lawyer suspended after sending antisemitic letter to her client then claiming the backlash against her was 'racist and sexist'Marylands Court of Appeals has suspended a lawyer after she sent a client an antisemitic letter, The Daily Record reports.
The lawyer, Amber L. Maiden, says the decision to suspend her is racist and sexist.
The court's opinion says that Maiden used language that is antisemitic, personally insulting, profane, and otherwise inappropriate in the letter to her client, who asked her to represent him in his appeal to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in order to win more substantial damages.

I can tell you right now, money does not move me, the way it moves you. I would say you are obsessed with it, and thats very unhealthy. At the risk of offending you, I am going to say, its probably because youre Jewish (I think) and that seems to be a part of your culture, (with the men anyway, the women are different.)," Maiden wrote, adding that the anti-discrimination law she was basing the case on was written for her, not for the clients white a**.
I know why youre like this. If you are in fact Jewish, this is a part of your culture, yall Jew boys and that money you think its antisemitic for people to call you out NO. It is not," Maiden wrote.

Of course, she's the real victim of bigotry here.
She got suspended for anti-Semitism?! Honestly, I am surprised by that happening, probably as much as she was.
All kinds of bigotry spewed from her poison pen. Just goes to show, anyone can be a fucking bigoted asshole!

Wonder how she/he retains any clients being stupid enough to send that to a client.

Gotta be. I cannot fathom any practicing attorney writing something like this.
I have worked with hundreds of attorneys over the years. In all that time, Ive seen only one who could do something this ignorant.
Just wait: in the coming days there will be stories of drug abuse, sex abuse, etc.
