Attorney Christopher Hoxie of Kennewick, WA; slacker

The state of Maryland presented Christopher Michael Hoxie with a law license in 2013 after he graduated from Georgetown University School of Law.

The Washington State Bar found Chris guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to communicate with his client
• Failed to provide reasonable warning to the clients before withdrawing from the case
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to decline/terminate representation when required to so act
• Failed to take reasonable practical steps to protect the clients’ interests before withdrawing from the case
• Failed to clarify the terms of withdrawal and the conditions of their attorney-client relationship, thus misleading his clients
• Failed to provide the clients with a reasonable and fair disclosure of material elements of the fee agreement and his billing practices
• Failed to consult with the clients prior to withdrawing
• Failed to keep clients reasonably informed and explain the implications of the withdrawal so that the clients could make informed decisions regarding the representation

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Washington State Supreme Court punished Chris by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. June 2026), Chris practices his so-called brand of law at 1030 North Center Parkway in Kennewick, Washington.
