Attorney Carolyn Ayres of Wilmington, DE; ethical leprechaun
The state of Delaware presented Carolyn P. Ayres with a law license in 1991.
The Delaware Supreme court found Carolyn guilty of the following misconduct.
-
Failed to file and pay federal, state, and local payroll taxes for five (5) years
-
Falsely represented to Delaware Supreme Court that she paid federal, state, and local payroll taxes over a 5-year period of time
-
Concealed failure to pay federal, state and local taxes from Office of Disciplinary Counsel
-
Refused to provide requested documents to disciplinary investigator (Up Yours, said Carolyn!)
-
Failed to provide competent representation (Dumbo)
-
Failed to act with reasonable diligence (slacker)
-
Misconduct involved multiple violations
-
Failed to keep client reasonably informed of status of legal matter
-
Failed to deposit unearned fees in client trust account
-
Commingled client funds with personal funds
-
Failed to take steps to protect client’s interests after being discharged
-
Engaged in conduct involving deceit and misrepresentation
-
Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
-
Engaged in deceptive practices during disciplinary process
As one would suspect, this wasn’t Carolyn’s 1st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. She previously received a complimentary reprimand for engaging in a variety of misconduct.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Delaware Supreme Court punished Carolyn by gifting her with a complimentary 3-year suspension of her law license.
As we speak (ca. October 2012) Carolyn practices at 503 West 9th Street in Wilmington, Delaware.
