Attorney Dean Margolis of Minneapolis; lying loser
The state of Minnesota presented Dean Milton Margolis with a law license in 1989 after he graduated from William Mitchell Law School.
The Minnesota Office of Lawyer Regulation found Dean guilty of the following misconduct
- Falsely claimed to represent client in workers’ compensation matter
- Attempted to cover up phantom workers’ compensation representation by forging the alleged client’s signature on a fee agreement
- Lied to Dept. of Labor fraud investigator about settlement of compensation claim without client’s knowledge or consent
- Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonest or misrepresentation
- Attempted to conceal unauthorized settlement attempt by fabricating sham memo to the file memorializing conversation in which client authorized settlement
- Attempted to deceive ethics investigators (Up yours, said Dean!)
As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Minnesota Supreme Court punished Dean by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. January 2015), Dean practices with The Margolis Law Firm PA in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
