Attorney James Bentley of Oneonta, AL; ethical leprechaun 

 

The state of Alabama presented James Robert Bentley with a law license after he graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law.

 

The Alabama State Bar Association found Jimmy guilty of the following misconduct

  • Failed to perform work client hired him to perform
  • Failed to act with due diligence
  • Failed to communicate with client
  • Failed to safeguard client funds
  • Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law
  • Violated or attempted to violate rules of conduct, knowingly assisted or induced another to do so, or did so through the acts of another

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Alabama Supreme Court punished Jimmy by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 91-day suspension of his law license.

 

In truth, the comedians sitting on the Alabama Supreme Court didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Jimmy.

 

As we speak (ca. March 2015), Jimmy practices in the Oneonta, Alabama area.
