Attorney Roger Varney of Hardy, KY; ethical gremlin

The state of Kentucky presented Roger D. Varney II with a law license in 2000 after he graduated from Capitol University Law School in Columbus, Ohio.

The Kentucky Bar Association found Roger guilty of the following misconduct.

• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Screw you, said Roger!)
• Failed to take reasonable steps to protect client’s interests upon termination
• Failed to explain a matter to allow client to make informed decision re: representation
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to communicate with client
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonest or misrepresentation
• Failed to keep client informed as to status of legal matter

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Kentucky Supreme Court the punished Roger by gifting him with a complimentary 181-day suspension of his law license. 

As we speak (ca. March 2016), Roger practice sat 627 Narrows Branch Road in Hardy, Kentucky.
