Attorney Bradley Keating of Gahanna, OH; ethical goblin

The state of Ohio presented Bradley Dennis Keating with a law license in 2003 after he graduated from Capitol University Law School.

The Columbus Bar Association found Brad guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to maintain proper client-trust-account records
• Failed to properly identify and remit payment for medical treatment provided to three of his firm’s personal-injury clients
• Failed to inform his clients that he did not maintain professional-liability insurance
• Misconduct involved multiple offenses
• Failed to perform and retain a monthly reconciliation of funds held in client trust account
• Failed to promptly render full accounting of funds which a client/third party had an interest
• Failed to sign the contingent-fee contract with a client
• Failed to maintain for seven years a record for the lawyer’s client trust account, setting forth the name of the account, date, amount, and client affected by each credit and debit
• Failed to obtain written client acknowledgment that he didn’t maintain malpractice insurance

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Jason by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 6-month suspension of his law license.

In truth, the comedians sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Brad.

As we speak (ca. December 2018) Brad practices with The Keating Firm at 161 Mill Street in Gahanna, Ohio.
