The Pennsylvania Supreme Court accepted a consent suspension of a year and a day for stipulated misconduct in several matters.

On February 14, 2020, Respondent was terminated from Abom and Kutulakis due to dishonesty.

Via e-mails dated February 18, 2020, Respondent stated to Attorney Abom that he “did not plan[] on practicing law anymore, at least not in a private capacity” and that he was a ” borderline, if not full, compulsive/pathological liar.”

Respondent also stated to Attorney Abom by e-mail dated February 20, 2020 that he intended to self- report his misconduct to the Disciplinary Board.

Respondent did not self- report.

On or about July 2, 2020, Respondent began employment with The Law Offices of Jason R. Carpenter, LLC (” Carpenter Law”).

Sanction

Respondent’s lack of prior disciplinary history, acceptance of responsibility by agreeing to a consent suspension, and cooperation with ODC are mitigating factors. His cooperation, however, is minimized by the fact that he falsely told Attorney Abom that he would self- report his misconduct, causing Attorney Abom to delay his reporting of Respondent’s misconduct.
