WFTV- A former longtime public defender in Volusia County who started her own defense practice, has been disbarred over allegations that she had intimate relationships with clients and used illegal drugs.
Florida Bar records show Linda Hadad admitted to using cocaine, crack ecstasy, pot, crystal meth and acid, as well as Xanax, Adderall, oxycodone and Lortab, without valid prescriptions.
She admitted she used her credit card to rent a vehicle for a man who repaid her with prescription pills and crack.
Records also said Hadad admitted to mixing business with pleasure at the jail by using her attorney access to have personal visits with two inmates, Steven Sullivan and Brandon Carson.
According to records, during a phone call, Carson talked about kissing her during their next visit, and when Hadad was asked about it, she answered, “He did kiss me one time.”
Records show during one call, Hadad told Carson, “I can’t wait to touch your (expletive). We will have to get my sex toy, too.”
And they show she told Sullivan during a call, “I miss phone sex.”
The records went on to describe sexually graphic conversations between Hadad and Sullivan.
After Hadad was questioned at length by the Florida Bar last year, she was arrested four times for driving without a license and fleeing from police.
Hadad was arrested in 2010 on a charge of driving under the influence.
Channel 9 went to Hadad’s last known address to speak with her about her disbarment, but was unable to contact her.
Listen I know what my dream girl is like. She’s a sweet mid-western girl. Brown hair, blue eyes. A woman who’s caring and we can do cute things like hiking with my dog or go apple picking and snuggle up with a fire going when its snowing and tell each other about our feelings, fears, and what makes us happy. I picture her being a great mother and great wife. I put my trust in her whole-heartedly because i know shes my soul mate. When im older i hope i find that girl and marry her, but that’s in the future.
Right now, however, im 25, single, and I wouldn’t mind finding a lawyer who’s so ride or die she’ll do meth and and wants to have awesome convict sex with me. I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t want ANYTHING to do with meth really, but if i were inclined to do meth, as im pretty sure many lower class Volusia County citizens are, this is DEFINITELY the type of lawyer I assume they would want right? Scratch out the crazy hardcore addictive stuff like crack and crystal meth and we pretty much have a , for the most part, normal chick. Lawyers definitely partied in law school and definitely needed special study aids to read all their torts and shit so i doubt these times she admitted weren’t only with convicts.
In a lengthy deposition Hadad admitting to using crack, cocaine, meth, acid, marijuana, Xanax, Adderall, and oxycodone, among other drugs.
Hadad said she had tried meth three times and as recently as one year ago, crack 10 times and most recently a little over a year ago, cocaine 10 times, ecstasy 20 times and acid once.
When the two spoke about shooting meth Hadad voiced her concern, at which point Sullivan tells her; ‘B****, you do what the f*** I tell you to do.’
He then tells her; ‘Go buy a diabetic needle. I’m gonna shoot you up one goddamn time. You act like it’s such a goddamn crime ‘cause I want you to be in euphoria for f****** 30 minutes? Sorry.’
Hadad responds to that by saying; ‘All right. If you want me to, I’ll try it.’
