Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Suspension issued in IN, 2009

updated on 06/03/2015

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Paul’s comment:

“Minor violation leading to a four month suspension. Have since made necessary adjustments to operating procedure in order to prevent future violations.”
