Attorney Gofourth Dewayne of Marengo, IN; ethical goblin

 

The state of Indiana provided Gofourth Dewayne with a law license in 2000 after he graduated from the University of Indiana School of Law.

 

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

  • Client forged decedent’s signature on a will prepared by Gofourth and he then signed the will as a witness
  • Shortly after the fraudulent will was drafted, the father forgave a debt of over $1,000 owed by Gofourth to the father
  • After being confronted by another attorney over the legitimacy of the will, Gofourth falsely insisted that the will was genuine
  • Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
  • Assist ed a client in the commission of a fraudulent act
  • Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Indiana Supreme Court punished Gofourth by gifting him with a complimentary 3-year suspension of his law license.

 

As we speak (ca. September 2020), Gofourth practices with the Legal Services Office at 118 South Main Street n Marengo, Indiana.
