That (above) is Linda’s 2010 DUI mug shot, and below is a collage of her four (4) subsequent mug shots for repeated (DWLS-K) knowingly driving with a suspended license and fleeing and eluding police (F&E).
I’m not quite clear on why she gave a deposition (a sworn statement in question and answer format under oath) but what is more bizarre is what she reportedly said during the course of that deposition… Linda reportedly admitted to using both crack and powder cocaine, meth, acid, marijuana, Xanax, Adderall, and oxycodone, among other drugs, further stating that 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 that on one occasion she rented a car for a drug dealer who repaid her with drugs.
Linda admitted to having “inappropriate intimate relationships” with inmates at the Volusia County jail while she represented them, and to engaging in inappropriate phone calls, which were routinely recorded by the jail. In fact, reportedly during the course of her deposition Linda was forced to listen to a series of recorded telephone conversations, including “phone sex recordings” that she had made with an inmate named Brandon Carson (pictured below).
Linda is reportedly heard lamenting the fact that Carson was behind bars, telling him in one conversation that “You’re in jail and I can’t touch your penis wrinkle”. She then reportedly said: “I’m mad. We still have to get my sex toy too. We were supposed to go to the sex shop.”
Linda’s conversations with another inmate named Steven Sullivan were reportedly far more graphic and sexual in nature. When the two spoke about shooting meth Linda voiced some concern, at which point Sullivan tells her: “B*tch, you do what the f*ck I tell you to do. 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*cking 30 minutes? Sorry.” To which Linda replies: “All right. If you want me to, I’ll try it.”
According to the FL Bar Linda 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.
Linda Dawn Hadad, P.O. Box 366, Daytona Beach, disbarred effective immediately, following a March 10 court order. (Admitted to practice: 2002) 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. Hadad also failed to timely appear for court hearings, neglected the criminal cases of several clients, closed her office without informing her clients and failed to respond to Bar inquiries regarding these matters. (Case No. SC15-1241)
I cannot imagine what could have compelled Linda, an apparently skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyer (albeit a bat sh*t crazy one), to admit to these facts but the end game was definite disbarment.
