Attorney Beau Sefton of Cincinnati, OH; ethical ogre 

The state of Ohio presented Beau Christopher Sefton with a law license in 2006 after he graduated from Harvard University Law School.

The Disciplinary Commission found Beau guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, while he represented a corporate client in an employment discrimination case, Beau directed an associate to notice a deposition of a witness, and when he later learned that the witness had filed his own discrimination case against the same corporation and was represented by an attorney in that case, he failed to notify the witness’ attorney of the scheduled deposition and took the deposition without the knowledge or consent of the witness’ attorney.

Thereafter, in opposing a motion for sanctions based upon that conduct, he raised arguments unsupported by case law or other authority.

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Johnny by gifting him with a complimentary censure. 

As we speak (November 2017), Beau practices with The Kroger Co. Law Department in Cincinnati, Ohio.
