Attorney Herbert Cohen of DC; ethical leprechaun

The DC Bar presented Herbert Cohen with a law license in 1969.

The DC Bar Counsel found Herb guilty of the following misconduct.

• Continued to represent a client when another client’s interests conflicted
• Failed to keep clients informed about status of legal matter
• Failed to surrender client’s file after being fired
• Failed to make reasonable efforts to ensure his law firm had in place measure giving reasonable assurance t hat all lawyers in firms would conform to rules of conduct
• Failed to properly supervise subordinate attorney
• Responsible for subordinate attorney knowingly making false statements of material fact to a trial court

As a consequence of him misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the DC Bar Counsel punished Herb by gifting him with a complimentary 30-day suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. January 2015), Herb practices at 900 17^th Street in Washington, DC.
