Unethical Behavior: The Attorney's Ethical Violation

Decent Essays
The attorneys and police officer I think were unethical. They violated several ethical violations; one was to be fair, and another to behave with integrity, they are not above the law. I find their behavior incomprehensible given the fact that they all represent justice in there line of work. The attorney’s unethical behavior promoted unethical behaviors in several people. The low paying attorney staff member, attorney Filthaut, Melissa the paralegal, and officer Fernandez who lost his job for his part. All of them would have to find new jobs because of their unethical behaviors.
