Attorney Dustin Matthews of Clearfield, UT; convicted wife beater

The State of Utah presented Dustin R. Matthews with a law license in 2012 after he graduated from Duquesne University School of Law.

The Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Utah Supreme found Billy guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• At the time of the assault, Adam’s wife was pregnant at the time and two children were in the home Mr. Adams was convicted of one count of Assault and two counts of Domestic Violence in the Presence of a Child

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Utah Supreme Court punished Bill by gifting him with a complimentary 3-year suspension of his law license effective September 2020.  

As we speak (ca. October 2022), Dustin will resume his so-called brand of law with Brightvice at 1725 East 1450 South in Clearfield, Utah in September 2023.
