The state Appellate Court has affirmed the five-month suspension of a Connecticut bankruptcy lawyer who was disciplined for having an intimate relationship with a client.

Back in 2013, Superior Court Judge Frank D’Andrea Jr. suspended the law license of Zenas Zelotes of Glastonbury. When the disciplinary case was brought against Zelotes, he represented himself and told the Statewide Grievance Committee that he did not believe it was “problematic” to have a romantic relationship with a client.
