What Comes After Disbarment?

Permanent disbarment.

The Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board has recommended that a disbarred attorney be permanently disbarred for a post-disbarment criminal convition.

The attorney was disbarred after his conviction on charges that he stole a two-gallon gasoline can from his father.

He also broke one of his father’s fingers in the encounter.

Here, he was stopped while driving on a suspended license. He told the arresting officers that there were narcotics in the car. The narcotics were approximately 2000 Xanax pills. He pled to drug possesssion charges.

A hearing committee had proposed that this most recent conviction be held for consideration if he ever sought to get his license back.

The board here concluded that enough is enough. (Mike Frisch)
