Don’t kidnap your client in an attempt to collect your legal fees from him, or recoup the bond money you advanced. Especially not if you’re going to be taking him away from his wedding celebration. It’s just plain wrong, so don’t do it, okay? (“Lawyer Allegedly Kidnaps Client Over Fees”, AP/ABC News, Jan. 13)(Waco, Texas).
