Attorney Heidi Sturm of Fairmont, WV; ethical goblin
The state of West Virginia presented Heidi M. Georgi Sturm with a law license in 2003.
The Lawyer Disciplinary Board found Heidi guilty of the following misconduct
-
Failed to provide competent representation (moron)
-
Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
-
Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
-
Failed to explain matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation
-
Accepted compensation for client from someone other than client

Commingled client funds with personal funds
-
Failed to protect client’s interests after being fired
-
Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice

As a consequence of her misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the West Virginia Supreme Court punished Heidi by gifting her with a complimentary reprimand.
As we speak (ca. March 2015), Heidi practices at 301 Adams Street in Fairmont, West Virginia.
