Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.

Disbarment issued in WA, 2018

updated on 06/27/2018

This is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the the Washington State Bar to understand the reasons for this disbarment.

Resignation in Lieu of Discipline issued in TX, 2017

updated on 02/07/2018

This means the attorney resigned in order to avoid being disbarred. "Disbarment" is the most serious penalty for a lawyer.

Partially Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2017

updated on 01/23/2019

Partially Probated Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice, he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2015

updated on 05/04/2015

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.

Evin’s comment:

“I obtained a successful result at trial for the client. The client complained to the State Bar that I was not returning emails and phone calls. The client continued to use me as their attorney after the complaint and I obtained a successful result at trial for the client. The State Bar proceeds with complaints whether the client wants to or not and the client was subpoened to testify. The client was represented on a complete contingency fee. The ruling by the Bar is on appeal.”
