Attorney George Sidiropolis of Wheeling, WV; convicted drug pusher

The state of West Virginia presented George Nico Sidiropolis with a law license in 2007 after he graduated from the University of West Virginia School of Law.

The Lawyer Disciplinary Board found George guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Began using heroin after experience high costs of purchasing Oxycontin illegally
• While still engaged in the practice of law, George continued to abuse the use of heroin
• On his return to Wheeling, George was stopped by the Pennsylvania State Police
• During the stop, the State Police found a shopping bag with ten bricks of heroin wrapped in a newspaper
• Criminally charged by U.S. Attorney with one count of conspiracy to distribute heroin
• Pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute heroin
• Failed to fully cooperate with ethics investigators (Up yours, said George!)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the West Virginia Supreme Court punished George by gifting him with a complimentary 60-day suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. February 2023), George practices his so-called brand of law with Jividen Law Offices PLLC at 729 Main Street in Wheeling, West Virginia.
