No New Leaf

An attorney who had been suspended and reinstated was disbarred by the Maryland Court of Appeals.

The attorney had neglected matters, lied to her clients and demanded fee payments knowing that the clients’ matters had not been pursued.

The court: “[the attorney] was intentionally deceitful, woefully incompetent, and otherwise in flagrant disregard of several [ethical eules]. These circumstances – combined with her failure to turn over a new leaf since her previous suspension and reinstatement – convinces us that the public would be at risk if [she] were to continue to practice law in Maryland.”  (Mike Frisch)
