Attorney Joseph Fingliss Jr. of Fall River, MA; cheating moron

The state of Massachusetts presented Joseph Patrick Fingliss Jr.  with a law license in 2001 after he graduated from Boston College School of Law.

The Board of Bar Overseers found Joey guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Spewed forth falsehoods in two separate matters
• Lied to his clients
• Threatened to lie about his client’s ex-wife
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty, or misrepresentation
• Misrepresented his fees
• Attempted to pass off charitable contributions from trust assets as his own
• Failed to provide competent representation (moron)
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Missed appropriate statute of limitations for filing case on client’s behalf
• To obtain client agreement to accept lower settlement offer, Joey fabricated a story that the insurer was about to file for bankruptcy
• While representing a husband in a modification and contempt proceeding, Joey falsely accused his client’s ex-wife (a nurse) of stealing drugs from the hospital where she worked and using drugs in her house where children were present
• Joey made intentional misrepresentations to the ex-wife
• While representing elderly client in trust/estate matters, Joey charged excessive fees (cheater)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Board of Bar Overseers punished Joey by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. October 2023), Joey practices his so-called brand of law with the Casas Garcia Law Firm at 340 Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts.
