Attorney Kevin Kevelighan of Bingham Farms, MI; ethical leprechaun

The state of Michigan provided Kevin William Kevelighan with a law license in 2000 after he graduated from the University of Detroit Law School.

The Tri-County Hearing Panel #53 found Kevin guilty of the following misconduct.

• Neglected his clients’ legal matters
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to keep clients informed about status of their matters
• Improperly held funds other than clients in trust account
• Failed to refund any advice fee that he had not earned
• Failed to surrender papers and property that belonged to client
• Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Up yours, said Kevin!)
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Hearing Panel punished Kevin by gifting him with a complimentary 179-day suspension of his law license, which means his license will be reinstated in November 2016. 

As we speak (ca. June 2016), Kevin will again practice with Kevelighan & Kevelighan PC at 30600 Telegraph Road in Bingham Hills, Michigan, which is a suburb of Detroit after his license is reinstated.
