Attorney Michael Geisler of Pittsburgh; thieving Dumbo

The state of Pennsylvania provided Michael S. Geisler with a law license in 1983 after he graduated from the University of Pittsburgh Law School.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) found Mike guilty of the following misconduct.

• Initially charged with violating 43 Rules of Professional Conduct
• Willfully failed to carry out contract of employment
• Failed to refund unearned fee upon termination (thief)
• Neglected legal matter entrusted to him
• Intentionally failed to seek client lawful objectives
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Failed to deliver funds to client as requested by client
• Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law
• Failed to provide competent representation (Dumbo)
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
• Failed to comply with client information requests
• Failed to expedite client litigation

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court punished Mike by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. March 2018) Mike practices at 201 Penn Center Blvd in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
