A judge is hired to write a will for a disabled man, and it all ends up with the Judge being sued and then having to give back $ 1.2 million in fees and 600 acres of land.  It’s the middle part we cant figure out.

"A Washington County judge has been ordered to repay $1.2 million to a woman he represented in an estate case and give her back 600 acres of land, according to a Mobile County Circuit Court ruling.

Stuart DuBose, who was elected last year to serve as circuit judge over Choctaw, Clarke and Washington counties, responded in a letter faxed to Mobile County Circuit Judge John Lockett by saying that Lockett’s ruling was "not legal" and "immoral."

"This order must not become public knowledge," DuBose wrote. "It must not be recorded. It will ruin me professionally and further ruin me financially According to court documents, Weaver soured on DuBose shortly after Sullivan died. After DuBose clarified in a letter that his cut of the estate was a fee of 40 percent, or about $1.2 million, she fired him as her attorney and tried to drop him as the estate’s lawyer.

Weaver sued DuBose, accusing him of malpractice, misrepresentation and negligence, as well as designating himself both the attorney for the estate and for Weaver without ever informing her of a potential conflict of interest. That suit was tossed out.

The original settlement was kept confidential. Court files do not specify all the terms of the settlement or make clear Lockett’s reasoning for ruling that DuBose failed to live up to the terms.

Lockett ruled that DuBose or the Sullivan estate must pay Weaver $1.19 million. In addition, Lockett said DuBose must return three parcels totaling 605 acres to Weaver within 30 days because DuBose violated the settlement order when splitting Sullivan’s land between his law firm and Weaver "
