We Pay These Every Year

An attorney who had engaged in unauthorized practice from October 2003 to July 2008 was publicly reprimanded by the Minnesota Supreme Court. The attorney and the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility had stipulated that the failure to pay “was inadvertant in that [the attorney] had submitted the 2003 statement to his employer but neglected to ensure that his employer had paid the required fees…[he] was unaware of his fee-suspended status until receiving the disciplinary complaint and that after the disciplinary complaint was received [all fees and late charges] were promptly paid.” The parties also stipluated to the sanction.
