Attorney Samantha Dang of Portland, OR; ethical leprechaun

 
The state of Oregon provided Samantha Nghi Dang with a law license in 2002
 
The Oregon State Bar found Samantha guilty of the following misconduct
  1. Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
  2. Violated her sworn duty to the public
  3. Misconduct was motivated to protect profits
  4. Engaged in a conflict of interest
In one matter, Samantha represented the buyers in negotiations with Superior Team Construction Company for the construction of a house on property owned by the buyers. Samantha was the owner and contractor for Superior Team, while her husband, Timothy was the manager.
 
Samantha’s husband negotiated with the buyers. Although Samantha wasn’t involved in the negotiations, she learned that the buyers wanted to finance the entire cost of the house with a loan from Washington Mutual, but Washington Mutual wasn’t willing to lent sufficient funds so that the house could be built.
 
Subsequently, Samantha, acting on behalf of Superior Team, entered into a construction contract with the buyers. The contract called for Superior Team to construct the home for a fixed price which was less than the cost of the house the buyers initially wanted to build.
 
Samantha knew the construction contract would be shown to Washington Mutual as part of the buyers’ loan application. The agreed-upon contract price was supported by a cost estimate prepared by Samantha’s husband and which she signed. The cost estimate separated profits from the cost of construction.
 
When the loan closed with Washington Mutual, Samantha signed and certified as true, accurate, and complete a document entitled Custom Construction Source and Use of Funds that listed the same fixed price previously submitted by Samantha and her husband in the construction contract. Put simply, Samantha’s certification was false.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Oregon Supreme Court punished Samantha by gifting her with a complimentary reprimand.
 
As we speak (ca. March 2013) Samantha practices with the Law Office of Samantha N. Dang at 6919 SE 82nd Avenue in Portland, Oregon.
