Michigan Attorney Grievance lawyers want his law license revoked. They say he took tens of thousands of dollars in fees from two clients, but failed to provide much service.
Two psychiatrists who examined him testified that he has trouble dealing with personal and financial problems and on some days prescribed himself up to a fifth of Jack Daniels. . . .
"His mental status exam showed that he was extremely depressed. He was isolated," said psychiatrist Xavier White. . . . I don't think that Mr. Chambers should be doing anything besides focusing on his life."
The second psychiatrist, Gerald Shiener, also spoke bluntly, according to Elrick:
"I don't think that he could manage a law practice, and I would have questions about his ability to represent."
Chambers also testified for the first time Tuesday. His past high-profile cases include the Underwear Bomber and one of Detroit contractor Bobby Ferguson's business partners in a bid rigging trial. That defendant, Michael Woodhouse, was off the hook when the case ended with a hung jury.
