Attorney Marsha Halpern of Dallas; ethical gremlin

The state of Texas presented Marsha M. Halpern with a law license in 1979 after she graduated from St. Mary’s University Law School.

The District 6-A Grievance Committee found Marsha guilty of the following misconduct.

• Allowed client case to be dismissed for want of prosecution
• Failed to carry out obligation owed to client
• Failed to advise client her case had been dismissed
• Failed to respond to client information requests
• Failed to fully cooperate with ethics investigators (Up yours, said Marsha!)
• Neglected legal matter entrusted to her
• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter

As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Texas Supreme Court punished Marsha by gifting her with a complimentary 3-year suspension of her law license.

As we speak (ca. July 2017), Marsha practices at 3010 LBJ Freeway in Dallas, Texas.
