Attorney Harold Thompson of Columbus; thieving repeater

The state of Ohio presented Harold Lee Thompson with a law license in 1975 after he graduated from the University of Connecticut Law School.

The Disciplinary Counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court found Harry guilty of misconduct

• Misappropriated (stole) client funds
• Used funds belonging client to pay personal expenses
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Caused four overdrafts of client trust account
• Failed to maintain client funds in interest-bearing account
• Misconduct involved multiple offenses
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law
• Failed to maintain appropriate accounting records
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct

As one would suspect, this wasn’t Harry’s First bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. He previously received a complimentary reprimand for engaging in some of the same misconduct aforementioned.

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Harry by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. November 2014) Harry practices with The Thompson Law Firm at 85 East Gay Street in Columbus, Ohio.
