Attorney Sterling Weaver Sr. of Portsmouth, VA; ethical troll

The State of Virginia provided Sterling Harrisbe Weaver Sr. with a law license in 1978 after he graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law.

The Virginia State Bar Disciplinary found Sterling guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Engaged in a conflict of interest
• Disclosed confidential client information
• Admonishment
• Improperly disbursed funds or used property of a client or third party with a valid lien or assignment without their consent
• Disbursed unearned fees to himself prior to earning same
• Commingled unearned client fees with personal funds
• Failed to maintain separate trust account to deposit unearned client fees

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Virginia Bar Disciplinary Board punished Sterling by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.  

As we speak (ca. April 2020), Sterling practices with Weaver Law Practice PLLC at 615 Dinwiddie Street in Portsmouth, Virginia.
