Attorney W. Lee Autman of Wilmington, DE; moronic loser
The state of Delaware provided W. Lee Autman with a law license in 1991 after he graduated from Widener University School of Law.
FYI: Widener is ranked as the 168th best law school in the country out of 202 ABA accredited schools.
The Delaware Supreme court found Lee guilty of the following misconduct.
-
Failed to provide competent representation (moron)
-
Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Screw you, said Lee!)
-
Failed to maintain proper financial records
-
Failed to file tax returns
-
Engaged in dishonest conduct in representations made to a governmental agency
-
Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
-
Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
-
Made false representation to Delaware Supreme Court on his Annual Registration Statement (Up yours, said Lee!)
-
Failed to file answer on client’s behalf in foreclosure action
-
Failed to keep client informed of status of matter
-
Failed to promptly deliver an accounting of funds received on client’s behalf
-
Failed to provide written explanations to client in connection with advanced fees
-
Failed to file or pay various law practice employer and employee payroll taxes owed to federal, state and city tax authorities for five consecutive years
-
Failed to maintain books and records as required
-
Failed to maintain and preserve on a monthly basis hard copy records printed out from his computer of required law practice bank account-related
-
financial information
-
Failed to take action to prepare and record a deed or thereafter transfer client’s real property to the partnership he had set up for her
-
Failed to advise client to obtain appraisals of the value of the property
-
Failed to respond to client’s inquiries about real estate tax bills she was receiving in her name (rather than the partnership’s name)
-
Failed to inform client that her property had not been transferred
-
Falsely notarized client’s signature on agreements of gift
-
Wrote a letter to the City of Rehoboth Beach requesting parking permits based upon the false assertion that there was a 1996 deed transferring the property to his client and her daughter and son-in-law individually, when in fact, Lee had not prepared or recorded such a deed and had no intention of doing so
As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Delaware Supreme Court punished Lee by gifting him with a complimentary 3-year suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. February 2020) Antonia practices at 500 Brighton Road in Wilmington, Delaware.
