Well, obviously this is no surprise. Everyone knows that a lawyer failing to meet with her client can be disbra’ed. ---

Not many ladies wear underwire bras anymore. I usually associate underwire bras with very large chested women that need extra support. I can easily see why they didn’t let her in prison bra less. Might of caused a riot. 😉 ---
