Attorney Venancio Padilla of Philippines; slacker, loser

The Philippine Supreme Court provided Venancio Padilla with a law license in 1987 after he graduated from the University of the Philippines School of Law.

The Integrated Bar of the Philippines found Venancio guilty of the following misconduct

• Failed to keep client informed status of case
• Failed to respond to client information requests
• Handled legal matter without adequate preparation
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to participate in continuing legal education programs
• Neglected a legal matter entrusted to him
• Failed to file proper pleading involving motion to dismiss client’s case
• Failed to live up to his duties as a lawyer

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Republic of the Philippines Supreme Court punished Venancio by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. March 2024), Venancio practices his so-called brand of law in Malasiqui, Pangasinan, Philippines.
