Lando, chairwoman of an environmental group, was interested in the passage of a bill that banned smoking in all public places. For $2,000, she hired an attorney to draft the bill and argue for its passage before a senator interested in environmental matters. This senator was convinced of the value of the bill and urged other senators to vote in favor of its passage. The bill was passed by the legislature and became law. The attorney then demanded payment. Can Lando refuse payment on the grounds that what the attorney did was illegal?
