A Florida lawyer has been disbarred after admitting to inappropriate sexual relationships with men behind bars and a history of drug use. 

Linda Hadad, 42, a former public defender in Volusia County who became a criminal defense attorney, at one point even spoke with an inmate who she was both representing and having a sexual relationship with about injecting meth.

The inmate, Steven Sullivan, said the drug would make the two have better sex. 

The Florida Bar said in a statement; 'Hadad engaged in a pattern of misconduct that included illegal drug use and sexual relationships with clients. 

'She had inappropriate intimate relationships with inmates at the Volusia County jail while she represented them, and engaged in inappropriate phone calls, which were routinely recorded by the jail.'

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. 

She admitted as well that on one occasion she rented a car for a drug dealer who repaid her with drugs.

She was also forced to listen to phone sex recordings during her deposition that she made with Sullivan and another inmate, 25-year-old Brandon Carson, while they were behind bars.

Carson, who during their conversations spoke frequently about conspiracy theories and believed that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima occurred in 1954, alluded at one point to an upcoming conjugal visit between the two.

Hadad also lamented the fact that he was behind bars, telling him in one conversation; 'You’re in jail and I can’t touch your penis wrinkle.'

She then said; 'I’m mad. We still have to get my sex toy too. We were supposed to go to the sex shop.'

Hadad also admitted to kissing Carson while he was in prison 'one time.' 

Her conversations with Sullivan however were far more graphic and sexual in nature.

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.' 

During her deposition Hadad admitted it was her in the recordings, and at one point asked if she could stop hearing herself having phone sex. 

Hadad has been arrested five times before, once in 2010 for driving under the influence and four other times after that for motor vehicle registration issues.

She also admitted to being yelled at by a police officer who threatened to arrest her after she flashed a bouncer to get into a club without paying a cover. 

Hadad also failed to show up on time for client meetings and hearings, moved her office without notifying clients and neglected some of her criminal cases.
