The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct today announced it has filed 10 disciplinary case reports with the Supreme Court of Ohio.

• Nine reports recommend discipline for attorneys charged with professional misconduct.
• One report recommends the reinstatement of a suspended lawyer to the practice of law.

The parties in each case will have an opportunity to file objections to the Board’s report and recommendation with the Supreme Court. If objections are filed, the case will be scheduled for oral argument. No oral argument is scheduled in reinstatement proceedings, and objections are not permitted in a case submitted upon consideration of a consent to discipline agreement.

Additional information about each case, including the report and recommendation, may be obtained by clicking on the link for each case. Questions regarding pending cases should be directed to the Office of Public Information at 614.387.9250.
