Lawyer accused of stealing from another lawyer who stole

Both of these guys shouldn't practice law again. From AP:

A Joliet (IL) lawyer is facing a theft charge for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars from one of his clients -- who just happens to be an attorney convicted of theft himself.

Forty-five-year-old J. Kevin Davis of Morris was arrested yesterday, charged with one count of theft and taken to the Will County Jail. Davis is accused of stealing more than ten thousand dollars, and if he is convicted his punishment could range from probation to seven years in prison.

Authorities have accused Davis of pocketing money former Romeoville attorney Charles Hahn stole from clients and was supposed to return under the terms of his 2002 plea bargain. Davis represented Hahn in that case.
