Attorney Sonja Allen of Baltimore, MD; ethical goblin

 

The state of Maryland presented Laura Kelsey Rhodes with a law license in 2008 after she graduated from the University of Baltimore School of Law.

 

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) found Sonja guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

  • Failed to deposit unearned fees in trust account
  • Upon termination of representation, Sonja entered into a settlement and release of claims agreement with the client without advising the client in writing of the desirability of seeking the advice of independent counsel

As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Maryland Supreme punished Sonja by gifting her with a complimentary reprimand.

 

As we speak (ca. January 2021), Sonja practices her brand of law at 200 East Lexington Street in Baltimore, Maryland.
