Re: Attorneys' medical condition

More | Report Post

Thank you for your response. My husband was bi-polar even
though he was on medication he was unable to fuction to the
best of his ability. He just passed away on August 24, 2005.
The last few weeks before his death he was suicidal and even
tried to kill himself in front of me. The reason for my concern
is that I was currently working for an attorney who told me
that he was diagnosed with being bi-polar. He would come to
work looking a mess, would not bathe, would not eat etc....
On three occassions he went into my office and kissed me on my
lips. After my husbands death he fired me and is suing me. He
has filed a frivolous lawsuit against me. I always treated this
attorney with respect and this is how he ends up treating me.
