A Connecticut attorney was referred to the state’s Superior Court twice for further discipline after the state’s grievance committee determined that she violated a slew of rules.

The committee found that Alisha Mathers, an attorney already reprimanded four times in the past, took on an incarcerated client whom she could not represent. According to the committee’s decision, that was because she had lost phone and visiting privileges at the prison due to being suspected of being involved with smuggling contraband into a correctional facility, which she never denied, violating Rules 1.1 and 1.3 of the Rules of Professional Conduct; and she had a conflict of interest with another incarcerated client, violating Rule 1.7. The committee further found that she also continued to use the phone, and visit her clients at correctional facilities, violating Rule 8.4(4).
