Attorney Harold Thompson of Columbus; thieving repeater
The state of Ohio presented Harold Lee Thompson with a law license in 1975 after he graduated from the University of Connecticut Law School.
The Disciplinary Counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court found Harry guilty of misconduct
- Misappropriated (stole) client funds
- Used funds belonging client to pay personal expenses
- Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
- Caused four overdrafts of client trust account
- Failed to maintain client funds in interest-bearing account
- Misconduct involved multiple offenses
- Commingled client funds with personal funds
- Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law
- Failed to maintain appropriate accounting records
- Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
- Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
As one would suspect, this wasn’t Harry’s First bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. He previously received a complimentary reprimand for engaging in some of the same misconduct aforementioned.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Harry by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. November 2014) Harry practices with The Thompson Law Firm at 85 East Gay Street in Columbus, Ohio.
