Okay, this is a hypothetical.  Say I have a friend who has kidnapped a person.  Could this theoretical person use a lawyer to put the kidnapped person in escrow and get the ransom money the same way?  Pardon me if I'm not using the right terms here.  I'm in a hurry.  Need an answer quick.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I don't know if this is legal, but this is probably not wise.  What is the lawyer supposed to do if the hostage tries to escape, issue him a subpoena?

Is this like the Russian chick who raped a thief and it was okay because she fed him?

Yeah, I suppose that you could, in the same sense that you could get a lawyer to hold down a chick while you raped her.  If you meant, could it be done legally, then no.  Also, lawyer-client privilege wouldn't apply, because the lawyer wouldn't be acting as legal counsel, he'd be acting as an accomplice.
