"The money is double taxed since the Lawyer has to claim it too."

If you use money that was taxed to pay a lawyer to fight a parking ticket you can't deduct his fee. Why should you be able to deduce his fee for any other reason?

General rule: expenses incurred for the production of income are deductible, fines and penalties are not.
