Parking Lot Incivility

A Michigan attorney was reprimanded based on a hearing panel finding that his “post-hearing conduct in a courthouse parking lot, where he used intemperate language, constituted professional misconduct…” The attorney and the Grievance Commissioner agreed to the reprimand in light of the hearing panel’s findings. The attorney must also pay the costs of the disciplinary hearing, amounting to almost $3,000. (Mike Frisch)
