The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct has links to a dozen recently-filed bar discipline matters

Staff Report | February 14, 2018

The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct today announced it has filed 12 disciplinary case reports with the Supreme Court of Ohio. Ten reports recommend discipline for attorneys charged with professional misconduct. One report recommends the reinstatement of a suspended lawyer to the practice of law, and one report recommends imposition of an impairment suspension.

The parties in each case will have an opportunity to file objections to the Board’s report and recommendation with the Supreme Court. If objections are filed, the case will be scheduled for oral argument. No oral argument is scheduled in reinstatement proceedings, and objections are not permitted in a case submitted upon consideration of a consent to discipline agreement.

The Board recently released its Annual Report. (Mike Frisch)
