I had a disbarred attroney interview for a assistant position. The conduct was effectively she had emotional issues, abandoned her clients and then was disbarred.

She seems as if she got the help she needs and can move on productively. The pros are she can effectively do everything I do and she is cheep. (For obvious reasons).

I want to give her a chance am I making a deal with the devil?

I agree. If you think she now has it under control this seems like a win-win for all involved. Worst case, move on.

I know someone who hired such a disbarred attorney and it really worked well for them. It wasn’t for client issues but missing bar payments apparently. One issue will be whether this person can be looked up and if that disciplinary status can be embarrassing. Said assistant changed their name.

Probably a good potential hire then if her references are good

Make sure you aren’t getting into a situation where she is practicing law without a license. Her natural tendency is likely going to be to be an attorney. Review your state’s rules of professional conduct on this topic. I also believe in second chances, but you still have to comply with the rules.

No client contact just mostly legal research and writing.

Is she getting readmitted to the bar? If so, will she leave you to work as an actual attorney once she does? Even with at will employment, its tough to fire people, so consider what happens if you train her, she's great as an assistant but not great as an attorney, and then she wants to work as an attorney.
