DA Kelly Callihan of Ebensburg, PA; apologist for crooked lawyer
The state of Pennsylvania presented Kelly Callihan with a law license in 1993 after he graduated from the Dickinson School of Law.
It should be note that Kelly has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough for the past twenty-three years (1993 to 2016). Apparently, no self-respecting law firm in the greater Cambria County area was about to offer her a good paying job.
In one matter, the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) found attorney Richard Corcoran guilty of an assortment of egregious misconduct, some of which included misappropriating (stealing) client funds, gross negligence and repeatedly lying to ethics investigators and his clients. For additional information regarding Mr. Corcoran, visit the URL listed at the end of this article.
Subsequently, Corcoran’s law license was suspended for five (5) years, which meant that he would have to apply to have his law license reinstated after the suspension concluded.
The cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court granted Corcoran’s application to reinstate his law license. Apparently, they believed he had a constitutional right to earn a dishonest living practicing law.
During the application process, Kelly had the chutzpah to provide a sworn statement in support of Corcoran’s reinstatement. In her statement, Kelly laughingly said:
We can be assured that Kelly will not take an affirmative action to alert any prospective Corcoran clients that he’s a serial thief and liar. Obviously, she’s more concerned with Corcoran’s well-being then she is of her constituents.
As we speak (ca. September 2016), Kelly continues to be employed as the Cambria County District Attorney in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.
