Attorney Joseph Ruddy Jr. of Hyattsville, MD; ethical dwarf

The state of Maryland presented Joseph Cornelius Ruddy Jr. with a law license in 1973. Joey was also provided with a law license from the District of Columbia in 1974.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) found Joey guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, Joey failed to arrange for interest payments owed on deceased aunt’s estate after Joey became personal representative and attorney for the estate.

As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Maryland Supreme Court punished Joey by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. November 2014) Joey practices at 4314 Hamilton Street in Hyattsville, Maryland.
