The Doug Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association found Doug guilty of the following misconduct.

• Threatened to file criminal charges against attorney to gain advantage in civil matter
• Violated Rules of Professional Conduct by raising questions regarding an attorney’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer
• Retaliate against a witness
• Made false statements to the court

• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Violated or attempted to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, knowingly assisted or induced another to do so, or did so through the acts of another
