Attorney Gary Vick Jr. of Parma, OH; ethical ogre

The State of Ohio provided Gary Allen Vick Jr. with a law license in 1999 after he graduated Cleveland State University School of Law.

The Disciplinary Counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court found Gary guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Engaged in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Failed to keep client informed of status of matter
• Failed to reasonably consult with his client about how the client’s objectives are to be accomplished
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to promptly deliver client papers to client upon termination
• Failed to advise client of case management conference
• Knowingly disobeyed an obligation under the rules of a tribunal (Screw you, said Gary!)
• Failed to comply with legally proper discovery request from opposing party
• Failed to perform any legal work of value for client Dobbs and owes him $3,500
• Failed to deposit client advance fee of $3,500 into trust account
• Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators(Up Yours, said Gary!)
• Failed to appear at court-scheduled case management conference on client’s behalf
• Failure to appear at case management conference led the court to dismiss client’s complaint without prejudice
• Failed to advise client the court had dismissed his case
• Failed to advise client that opposing party had filed motion for monetary sanctions to be imposed against Gary his client
• Trial Court judge-imposed sanction of $3,385 for fees and costs to opposing party due to Gary’s failure to comply court-ordered discovery
• Client successfully sued Gary for legal malpractice and obtained a judgement against him for $47,790.82

All that remains now is to see what if any punishment is meted out to Gary by the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court.
