Attorney William Cooley of Albuquerque, NM; halfwit loser
The state of New Mexico presented William Joel Cooley with a law license in 1968 after he graduated from Columbia University School of Law.
The New Mexico Disciplinary Board found Billy guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.
-
Failed to provide competent representation (halfwit)
-
Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
-
Failed to promptly refund funds to which client was entitled
-
Failed to expedite client litigation
-
Failed to make reasonable effort s to ensure his firm had measures in effect that the conduct of Bill’s non-lawyer assistant was compatible with Bill’s professional obligations
-
Assisted a person not a member of the bar in engaging in the illegal practice of law
-
Failed to safeguard client funds
-
Failed to promptly remit funds owing to his client
-
Failed to keep client informed about status of matter
-
Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice

-
Failed to provide sufficient information to allow clients to make informed decision about their legal matters
-

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the New Mexico Supreme Court punished Billy by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. September 2021), Billy practices his so-called brand of law at 1412 Lomas Blvd in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
