Attorney Jaye Schneider of Kirkland, WA; ethical dwarf

The State of Washington presented Jaye Lynn Schneider with a law license in 1983 after he graduated from Seattle University School of Law.

The Washington State Bar found Jaye guilty of engaging in the following misconduct. 

• Failed to safeguard client funds
• Failed to maintain complete and contemporaneous trust account records
• Failed to reconcile respondent’s IOLTA account check register to bank statements
• Failed to reconcile the check register to the client ledgers on a monthly basis
• Failed failing to remove funds belonging to respondent from the trust account
• Failed to promptly pay or deliver to clients or third persons the funds that they were entitled to receive

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Washington Supreme Court punished Jaye by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. January 2024), Jaye practices his so-called brand of law at 800 Fifth Avenue in Seattle, Washington.
