Newly released hidden surveillance video captured a New Mexico divorce lawyer raiding his client's estranged husband's house.

The video shows Raymond Van Arnam and client Melissa Stonecipher breaking into the home of Stonecipher's husband, Anthony Stonecipher.

Their mission was to get Melissa Stonecipher's belongings back from the Alamogordo home.

But Anthony Stonecipher had installed cameras around the property and they captured Van Arnam pounding and kicking the home's front door and later gaining access to the back of the house Oct. 28, 2011.

Best line: “I was beside myself, that an attorney, of all people, would just completely disregard the law and take matters into his own hands, for his client like that,” Anthony Stonecipher said.

Right?!

Sometimes I think liar is just another word for lawyer, and no wonder so many of them like Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the Clintons become politicians.

How do you know a lawyer is lying? His lips are moving. I know, really, really old joke.

Doesn't this guy watch TV?

Shady lawyers are supposed to hire shadier associates to do the actual break in, so he can yell at them when the screw it up.

Smart man ... Nothing wins a judge over more than hard, factual evidence.

I once took a traffic ticket into a one-way court and the judge wasn't friendly.

Facts from a relevant appellate court decision won it for me.

Proving once again that you don’t have to be very smart to become a lawyer.

This happened because the lawyer was doing the wife.

“Proving once again that you don’t have to be very smart to become a lawyer.”

If you want to forever establish that fact, just take a listen to congressman Hank “Guam will tip over” Johnson, who is also a lawyer:
