Attorney K. Russell Romney of Glendale, AZ; lying loser

The state of Arizona presented K. Russell Romney with a law license in 1987 after he graduated from the University of Arizona Law School.

The Arizona State Bar found Romney guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to consult with client so client could make informed decisions re: representation
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Made false statement to third person
• Failed to communicate with client
• Charged an excessive fee
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Failed to safeguard client property
• Failed to take necessary steps to protect client’s interests after being fired
• Failed to expedite litigation
• Made false statement of material fact to a tribunal
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonest or misrepresentation
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Misconduct involved multiple offenses
• Bad faith obstruction of ethics investigation (Up yours, said Romney!)

As a consequence of his misconduct, the Cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Arizona Supreme Court punished Romney by gifting him with a complimentary censure.

As we speak (ca. September 2014) Romney practices with the Glendale City Attorney’s Office at 5850 West Glendale Avenue in Glendale, Arizona.
