Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2002.

Suspension - Disciplinary issued in OR, 2002

updated on 05/16/2019

This sanction 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.

Shana’s comment:

“It was more than 20 years ago. It all started when I turned in one payment late by a few minutes on my mandatory professional liability insurance. The late payment resulted in an automatic suspension and anything I did pursuant to it was unlawful practice of law and neglect of client matters. Since then, I have practiced law in Washington since 2009 without any issues. In fact, I have been recognized for my work.”
