Attorney Shelley Rothman-Branning of Memphis; ethical elf

The state of Tennessee unfortunately presented Shelley Elise Rothman-Branning with a law license in 1984 after she graduated from the Brooklyn Law School.

The Board of Professional Responsibility found Shelley guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to safeguard client funds
• Violated or attempted to violate Rules of Conduct or knowingly assisted or induced another to do so, or did so through the acts of another
• Used unclaimed client funds to pay personal expenses

As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Supreme Court punished Shelley by gifting her with a complimentary 60-day suspension of her law license.

As we speak (ca. December 2017), Shelly practices at 6489 Quail Hollow in Memphis, Tennessee.
