Replied last January 06, 2019Don, you like most people took a leap of faith filing pro se and the risk was too great. The facts in your case won it, not me. But thank you for being so kind.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.
Suspension for a time certain/ Court order required issued in IL, 2019
updated on 10/16/2019This type of suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. Once the suspension expires, the attorney must show the Court that he or she has reformed and should be allowed to return to the practice of law.
Suspension issued in IN, 2017
updated on 01/05/2019This 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.
“Served a short suspension for Child Support Case where I was told to enter for the wrong party. READ REVIEWS. The market regulates better than Indiana's corrupt, arrogant illegal G. Michael Witte. This was complete false prosecution based on a 2013 case a witch hunt that followed and found nothing or any wrongdoing. I was not allowed a witness and denied due process and my AVVO rating was 10.00 prior to this slandering. "Fake news" is everywhere there is competition.”
