California State Bar filed charges against an attorney for preying on prisoners

From April 2023:

How a former McKinsey consultant "built a booming enterprise by fanning false hopes in some families" that he could help get their loved ones out of prison

Now:

In a filing Monday, the bar accused [the attorney] of 18 violations of the rules of professional conduct for attorneys and the state business code, including moral turpitude and unconscionable fees. If found culpable, he faces possible penalties ranging from probation to disbarment by the state Supreme Court.
