Reprimand For Bar Fight

The Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers web page has a summary of a public reprimand 

On November 5, 2018, the respondent admitted to sufficient facts in the Framingham District Court to one count of simple assault and battery for striking an employee at a bar in the face with a plastic gun, with resulting minor injuries. The matter was continued without a finding until May 6, 2019. The respondent was ordered to complete an anger management program approved by the probation department, stay away from and have no contact with the alleged victim, and stay away from the restaurant where the incident took place. The respondent complied with the terms of probation, including completing the required ten-week anger management program.

An admission to sufficient facts constitutes a conviction as defined by S.J.C. Rule 4:01, § 12(1). Assault and battery is a crime that reflects adversely on the respondent’s fitness to practice law.
