Attorney James Huffman of St. Helens, OR; ethical troll

The State of Oregon presented James D. Huffman with a law license in 197 5 after he graduated from the Northwestern School of Law.

The Disciplinary Counsel found Jimmy guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Failed to draft and submit the judgment in client Thomas’s case for 16 months after he had been entrusted with the task by the trial court
• Failed to timely submit Thomas’s judgment
• Due to Jimmy’s conduct in Thomas’s case, the circuit court was forced to unnecessarily expend additional time and resources
• Misconduct involved multiple offenses
• Disclosed irrelevant information that was embarrassing and detrimental to Thomas in response to Thomas’s Bar complaint
• Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Screw you, said Jimmy!)Failed to provide a properly executed medical release of information to SLAC when it was requested
• Failed to his duties that he owed to his clients
• Failed in his duty to preserve his client’s confidences
• Misconduct involved a dishonest or selfish motive
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Oregon Supreme Court punished Jimmy by gifting him with a complimentary 180-day suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. June 2023), Jimmy practices his so-called brand of law at 1905 Columbia Blvd in St. Helens, Oregon.
