The Indiana Supreme Court disbarred an attorney

We find that Respondent, Marco Antonio Genesis Moreno, committed attorney misconduct by neglecting numerous client matters, charging and collecting unreasonable fees, engaging in deceitful behavior, repeatedly failing to cooperate with disciplinary investigations, and ultimately abandoning his law practice. For this misconduct, we conclude Respondent should be disbarred.

Over the course of a year starting in August 2021, Respondent effectively abandoned his immigration law practice in Marion County. Eleven clients and one attorney filed grievances against him for similar misconduct…

The court

We summarize below some of the more egregious counts of misconduct, distilled from a disciplinary complaint comprising 34 pages and 225 rhetorical paragraphs.

There follows a summary of four of the client matters.

Respondent already is under suspension orders for serial noncooperation and failure to fulfill his continuing legal education requirements. For Respondent’s professional misconduct, the Court disbars Respondent from the practice of law in this state effective immediately.
