I cannot stress enough how poorly Ms Fisher represented me. Between never calling me back, not informing of our court date until the night before at 10:00 pm, and lying about what judge told her in chambers, I would not recommend her in any circumstance.

Bar investigators said Fisher missed hearings and that some clients were convicted after he did not arrive to defend them.
On March 5, the bar reprimanded Fisher for not filing appeals on time for two clients, and for bookkeeping and banking problems related to the required trust account.
Brock said that she was confused because Fisher had told her the Feb. 1 hearing would not happen. “He was adamant he was postponing it,” Brock said.
Fisher has osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bones disease. He walks with forearm crutches and has said he has had more than 50 broken bones. The repeated injuries left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, Fisher said in January.
A waitress, Brock paid Fisher $4,000 to represent her.
Brock asked for her money back, and retained a new attorney, Chris Tuck of Blacksburg. Tuck said he is representing Brock without charge in her attempt to regain her money, and at a reduced rate on the drunken-driving charge, which is now set to be heard June 7.
Fisher did not appear and Mooney entered a default judgment for Brock.
I have created stage wear, apparel , and jewelry collections for over 40 years, dressing some of your favorite "rock stars" (from Hendrix to Zappa) and "taking it to the streets" through art galleries, boutiques, museums and major department stores. My goal is to put the "fun" in functional fashion. Original and unique limited edition art to wear.
Being the "Seamstress for the Band", I have always had one foot in the music business- while creating clothing for other musicians, I was also doing background vocals on some of their albums, from singing in bar bands, to performing on stages at pop festivals-- and eventually cutting a record or two of my own.
Attorney suspension occurs as a disciplinary action taken when a lawyer faces an ethical complaint, undergoes an investigation, and is subsequently found to have violated professional conduct rules. ABA Model Rule 27 defines the obligations of an attorney has if they are suspended. An attorney has ten days to notify all of their clients, co-counsel, and opposing counsel of all pending matters.

It may be as little as 30 days. While there may be several hoops to jump through to reinstate a license to practice law, it’s much easier to live with a short period of suspension than one that takes away your income for the rest of your life.
However, the suspended attorney can only do support work. They cannot engage in client consultations, appear on behalf of clients, engage in negotiations on behalf of clients, handle client funds, or be involved in the practice of law. Pennsylvania and Hawaii have similar rules.
Lawyers who are suspended cannot take on any new clients while they are suspended or on the date that they are reinstated. The lawyer must also provide proof that they’ve complied with the attorney suspension.
If you’re facing an attorney suspension, make sure that you understand what you can and can’t do in the realm of law to continue to earn a living. Consult your state rules.
What you can do to survive an attorney suspension will largely depend on where you live and where you were admitted to practice law. For instance, California allows the employment of a suspended attorney to perform support work as long as clients with whom the suspended attorney will work with are notified. However, the suspended attorney can only ...
