DA Lisa Lazzari of Somerset, PA; apologist for crooked lawyer

The state of Pennsylvania presented Lisa Lazzari with a law license in 1990 after she graduated from John Marshall Law School.

In one matter, the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) found attorney Richard Corcoran guilty of an assortment of egregious misconduct, some of which included misappropriating (stealing) client funds, gross negligence and repeatedly lying to ethics investigators and his clients. For additional information regarding Mr. Corcoran, visit the URL listed at the end of this article.

Subsequently, Corcoran’s law license was suspended for five (5) years, which meant that he would have to apply to have his law license reinstated after the suspension concluded.

The cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court granted Corcoran’s application to reinstate his law license. Apparently, they believed he had a constitutional right to earn a dishonest living practicing law.

During the application process, Lisa had the chutzpah to provide a sworn statement in support of Corcoran’s reinstatement. In her statement, Lisa laughingly said:

• He was an excellent public defender and trial attorney
• I would hire him if position opened up

Unfortunately, the voters in Somerset will have nothing to say when and if Lisa decides to hire Corcoran to work as an Associate Somerset County District Attorney. Obviously, Lisa has no qualms about employing a serial thief and liar.

As we speak (ca. September 2016), Lisa continues to be employed as the Somerset County District Attorney in Somerset, Pennsylvania.
