ProPublica, June 3, 2021: Following a DUI Arrest, Maine Defense Lawyer Banned From Representing Defendants

“A lawyer working on behalf of the state of Maine continued to represent low-income defendants after being arrested for impaired driving in May.

The attorney, Suzanne Dwyer-Jones, was arrested by police in York, Maine, for driving while intoxicated after failing a sobriety test on May 10, police said. She posted bail and returned to work on May 12 at Biddeford District Court as the state’s lawyer for defendants who can’t afford to hire their own attorneys.”
