Attorney Aaron Kelly of Scottsdale, AZ; ethical gnome

The state of Arizona presented Aaron Matthew Kelly with a law license in 2007 after he graduated from the Michigan State School of Law.

The Arizona State Bar found Aaron guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Pursued meritless claims and/or proffered sham contentions
• Failed to inform himself regarding the facts of client’s claim
• Failed to communicate directly with his client to determine if their claim was meritorious before filing the civil complaint
• Violated his duty to his client and to the legal system
• Caused potential harm to the client and the legal system
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders of Attorney Misfits sitting on the Arizona Supreme Court punished Aaron by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. October 2018), Aaron practices with Kelly Warner PLLC at 8283 North Hayden Road in Scottsdale, Arizona.
