Sign And Website Violated Suspension Terms

Non-compliance with an order of suspension has resulted in a reprimand by a tri-county hearing panel of the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission

the Panel found that respondent’s participation in a phone call with the court while his license to practice law was suspended, as well as his building signage and website content holding himself out as an attorney after his suspension was effective, constituted violations of MCR 9.119(E)(3) and (4). The Panel also found respondent provided false statements in his affidavit, in violation of MCR 9.123(A); engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, in violation of MCR 9.104(1) and MRPC 8.4(c); engaged in conduct that is contrary to justice, ethics, honesty, or good morals, in violation of MCR 9.104(3); engaged in conduct that violates the standards or rules of professional misconduct, in violation of MCR 9.104(4); and violated an order of discipline, in violation of MCR 9.104(9).
