Attorney Christine DiSaia of Danvers, MA; ethical troll
The state of Massachusetts provided Christine DiSaia with a law license in 1999 after she graduated from the University of Massachusetts Law School.
The Board of Bar Overseers found Christy guilty of the following misconduct.
-
Neglected a client’s personal injury matter
-
Failed to provide client with written contingent fee agreement
-
Failed to perform any work of substance on client’s personal injury case
-
Failed to contact the other driver’s insurance about client’s death
-
Failed to respond to insurer’s requests for records and other information
-
Failed to tell daughter of deceased client that she would have to fill out new forms after a change in procedure at the probate court
-
Gross negligence allowed statute of limitations to run out regarding accident claim
-
Refused to provide deceased client’s son with mothers file re: mother’s personal injury case
-
Defaulted on legal malpractice case filed against her re: deceased client’s injury case
-
Failed to appear at court hearing to determine damages on malpractice claim
-
Son subsequently won a $113,500 default judgment against Christy
-
Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Screw you, said Christy!)
As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Board of Bar Overseers punished Christy by gifting her with a complimentary 1-year suspension of her law license effective August 9, 2017.
As we speak (ca. October 2018), Christy’s practice will resume in Quincy, Massachusetts in August 2018.
