Liar Liar

An attorney who made “copious knowing and intentional representations to courts, parties and witnesses” has been disbarred by the Maryland Court of Appeals.

Mixter’s pattern and practice has been to intentionally and knowingly mislead courts, witnesses and parties, and his interactions have brought disrepute to the legal profession. Mixter has made hundreds of repeated misrepresentations, to include: falsely asserting in the twenty-four motions listed in Appendix 3 that the oppositions were properly served with subpoenas outside of Maryland; falsely certifying in the fifty-three certifications listed in Appendix 6 that he had engaged in good faith efforts at resolving discovery disputes; willfully omitting material information in connection with the twelve motions listed in Appendix 7 [court details specific instances of false statements in litigation]…

The court rejected the attorney’s contention that disbarment is reserved only for misappropriation cases. (Mike Frisch)
