Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2017.

Suspension issued in IN, 2017

updated on 09/13/2023

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.

Andrew’s comment:

“Virginia State Bar exonerated me of ethical violations, rejecting Indiana's suspension. http://vsb.andrewstraw.com http://mitigation.andrewstraw.com http://dueprocess.andrewstraw.com http://crime.andrewstraw.com This suspension consisted of a state court meddling in the affairs of 4 federal courts and imposing a 79-month suspension where the federal courts imposed none. This represents an attack on the right to use the federal courts and is thus a federal crime. 18 U.S.C. 245(b)(1)(B).”
