Attorney Gerard Evans of Annapolis, MD; convicted felon, thief

 
The state of Pennsylvania presented Gerard  Emmett Evans with a law license in 1987.
 
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) found Gerard guilty of the following misconduct.
 
Gerard was charged by a federal grand jury with mail fraud and wire fraud. After a jury trial, Gerard was found guilty of mail fraud and aiding and abetting, and wire fraud and aiding and abetting.
 
The felony convictions arose from a scheme involving Gerard and Maryland State Rep. Tony Fulton. During this time period, Gerard earned a dishonest living as a lobbyist. On several occasions Fulton proposed drafting a new bill concering market share liability that would have adversely affected some of Gerard’s clients. Fulton never intended to introduce such a bill, and instead the proposed legislation was a scheme that enabled Gerard to earn excessive fees from his clients.
 
The trial court sentenced Gerard to 30-months in prison, a period of two years supervised release, a fine of $50,000, and restitution of $139,000 to his victims.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court punished Gerard by disbarring him.
 
Several years after he was disbarred, Gerard asked the Supreme Court to reinstate his law license. As expected, the comedians on the Supreme Court voted to reinstate Gerard’s law license.
 
How comforting it must be for the citizens of Maryland and Pennsylvania to know that there is yet another convicted felon practicing law in their respective states.
 
As we speak (ca. October 2012) Gerard practices at 191 Main Street in Annapolis, Maryland.
 
Caution:Gerard does not carry legal malpractice insurance
