Attorney Ernest Francis of Alexandria, VA; ethical leprechaun

The District of Columbia presented Ernest Paul Francis with a law license in 1963 after he graduated from Georgetown University Law School.

The D.C. Bar Counsel found Ernie guilty of the following misconduct.

• Intentionally failed to seek lawful client objectives
• Failed to keep client informed of status of matter
• Intentionally prejudiced or damages his client
• Failed to explain matters to extent necessary to permit client to make informed decisions

As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Bar Counsel punished Ernie by gifting him with a complimentary 30-day suspension of his law license.  

As we speak (ca. October 2016), Ernie practices with Ernest P. Francis Ltd. at 1655 North Fort Myer Drive in Alexandria, Virginia.
