Attorney Stephen Bamberger of Dumfries, VA; Moron
The state of Virginia presented Stephen Alan Bamberger with a law license in 2008 after he graduated from the University of California at Berkeley Law School.
The Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board found Stephen guilty of the following misconduct.
In one matter, Colonel Catherine Chase, who is the cousin of Martha Shoup, contacted Stephen regarding concerns she, Ms. Shoup and other of their family members had regarding the death of their grandmother and the subsequent role of Ms. Shoup’s brother, Kenneth Shoup, in both inheriting certain assets from their grandmother, and in his handling of the grandmothers’ affairs both prior to and following her death.
Two months later sent an email to Col. Chase and advised her that a challenge to the inventory of the grandmother’s estate filed by Kenneth Shoup would cost approximately $2,500. Two weeks later, Col. Chase and Ms. Shoup hired Stephen and paid him the agreed to $2,500.
Due to the incompetence of Stephen, Col. Chase and Ms. Shoup fired him. Subsequently, Stephen’s legal malpractice insurer settled negligence claims against him by Col. Chase and Ms. Shoup.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Disciplinary Board punished Stephen by giving him with a complimentary reprimand.
As we speak (ca. July 2013), Stephen practices at 15710 Beacon Court in Dumfries, Virginia.
