Attorney Patrick Chavis IV of Fishers, IN; cheating slacker

The state of Indiana presented Patrick E. Chavis IV with a law license in 1990 after he graduated from Indiana University of School of Law.

The Indiana Disciplinary Counsel found Patty guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Failed to act with reasonable diligence and promptness (slacker)
• 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.
• Made an agreement for, charging, or collecting an unreasonable fee (cheater)
• Failed to refund an unearned fee upon termination of representation
• Failed to claim certified mail from ethics investigators (Up yours, said Patty!)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Indiana Supreme Court punished Patty by gifting him with a complimentary 90-day suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. February 2021), Patty practices in Fishers, Indiana.
