Attorney Thomas Lyons Jr. of Vadnais Heights, MN; serial offender

The state of Minnesota presented Thomas J. Lyons Jr. with a law license in 1994 after he graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School.

The Minnesota Office of Lawyer Regulation found Tommy guilty of the following misconduct

Tommy’s 7^th bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree

• Prosecuted frivolous (BS) claims in three separate cases
• Failed to follow proper affidavit procedures
• Misconduct resulted in court imposed sanctions
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Minnesota Supreme Court punished Tommy by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

Tommy’s 8^th bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree

• Lied to opposing counsel that he client wasn’t dead in regards to settlement of dead client’s legal claims
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Gave false testimony (perjury) to referee about when he learned of client’s death
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Lied that client was hospitalized when in fact the client was dead
• Failed to cooperate with ethics investigators (Up yours, said Tommy!)

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Minnesota Supreme Court punished Tommy by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.

In addition to the above reprimand and suspension, Tommy was previously disciplined six (6) separate times for engaging in a variety of misconduct.

Because Attorney Misfits in Minnesota are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else, Tommy was never criminally charged with perjury or for filing a false police report.

As we speak (ca. January 2015), Tommy practices at 367 Commerce Court in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota.
