BR lawyer arrested for filing fraudulent forms to get client out of jail

Baton Rouge attorney Chris Alexander surrendered to Livingston Parish authorities Friday, acknowledging in an interview that he fraudulently filed court documents to get a client out of jail.
Prosecutors say Alexander filed a document on Nov. 5 that bore client James Henley's signature — but Henley was in custody in Caddo Parish on a fourth-offense DWI charge at the time.
Henley was not released on bond because he had an outstanding Livingston Parish warrant for failing to appear in court on a previous, third-offense DWI offense in May.
So, to get his client out, prosecutors say Alexander sent a document to Caddo Parish authorities saying Henley's Livingston Parish warrant had been recalled by a judge, leading them to release Henley on bond.
But a judge had not seen or approved the file, according to Livingston Parish District Attorney Kurt Wall.
Alexander said in a brief statement Friday that Henley's family told him Henley's mother was very ill and could possibly die, so he filed the documents.
"Although I acted with the best of intention, my judgement was poor," he said. "I am accepting full responsibility."

Alexander also posted to his Facebook page:
“I want my friends to know that i exercised poor Judgment regarding a criminal Case in Livingston parish which has resulted in criminal charges being filed against me. My client’s elderly mom was, and remains very ill. I facilitated the recall of a misdemeanor warrant in Livingston parish so that my client could get out of jail and go see his mom. Although my intentions were sincere and I received nothing of value, I regret my decision, have been honest about it, and will grow and learn from it. I ask for your prayers going forward.”

Odds this guy is a Southern product? SULC alumni must be the bulk of Plattsmeier’s work.

Alexander had an acquaintance pretend to be Henley to sign the document, which he then sent to Caddo Parish authorities to get the real Henley out on bond, Wall said. Alexander and the man who impersonated Henley both face counts of forgery and injuring public records.
yeah not good

I'd imagine he will grow and learn from it... but not as a practicing attorney.

That lawyer owes me $500 in sanctions. I hope he pays me before he loses his license.
