Attorney Jeffrey Cooper of Plainfield, IN; imbecilic slacker

The state of Indiana provided Jeffrey Bart Cooper with a law license in 2004 after he graduated from Hamline University School of Law.

The Indiana Disciplinary Commission found Jeff guilty of the following misconduct.

• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to provide competent representation (imbecile)
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Failed to reasonably consult with a client about the means by which the client's objectives are to be accomplished
• Failed to keep a client reasonably informed about the status of a matter
• Failed to comply promptly with a client's reasonable requests for information
• Failed to make reasonable efforts to ensure that the conduct of a nonlawyer employee over whom the lawyer has direct supervisory authority is compatible with
• the professional obligations of the lawyer
• Engaged in the illegal practice of law
• Failed to fully cooperate with ethics investigators (Up yours, said Jeff!)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Indiana Supreme Court punished Jeff by gifting him with a complimentary 60-day suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. May 2020), Jeff practices at 2680 E. Main Street in Plainfield, Indiana.
