Attorney Reuben Gardner of Glendale, AZ; ethical gremlin

The state of Arizona presented Reuben Jordan Gardner with a law license in 2000 after he graduated from Whittier University School of Law.

The Arizona State Bar found Reuben guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Negligently generated incorrect billing invoices that significantly under-reported attorney fees earned and contained incorrect amounts for expenses incurred
• Reuben provided those billing invoices to a beneficiary when asked for an accounting of the fees earned by his firm
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Victim of Reuben’s misconduct was vulnerable
• Reuben also provided the incorrect billing invoices to tax professionals resulting in the filing of inaccurate trust and estate income tax returns
• The inaccurate tax returns caused the beneficiary to pay more taxes than should have been paid

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Arizona Supreme Court punished Becky by gifting her with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. November 2023), Reuben practices his so-called practice of law with Gorman & Jones PLC at 17505 North 79^th Street in Glendale, Arizona.
