Concord Monitor - Lawyer guilty of salon extortion
One arrived Dec. 20, 2006, at Claudia’s, the North Main Street hair salon owned by Claudia Lambert. In the letter, Hynes said prices should be based on the time a cut takes or on the length of hair, instead of on gender. He wrote: “I demand payment in the amount of $1,000 in order to avoid litigation,” according to court documents.
Lambert’s husband, Ben Nardi, contacted the attorney general’s office. He also contacted Hynes. After Hynes came to collect $500 at Nardi’s Manchester real estate office, the police arrested him.
