Attorney Darren Haley of Greenville, SC; slacker, loser

The State of South Carolina presented Darren S. Haley with a law license in 1994 after he graduated from Washington and Lee University Law School.

Disciplinary Counsel of the South Carolina Supreme Court found Darren guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to adequately communicate with client
• Failed to meet with client to prepare for hearing
• Failed to fully cooperate with ethics investigators (Up yours, said Darren!)
• Failure to file client claims in timely manner led to them being dismissed
• Failed to appear at summary judgment hearing on client’s behalf
• Failed to obtain court permission to withdraw
• Failed to safely maintain client file causing it to be lost
• Failed to file and serve notice of appeal on client’s behalf
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
• Failed to promptly deliver funds owing to client
• Failed to take steps to protect client interests
• Engaged in conduct tending to pollute the administration of justice
• Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the Cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the South Carolina Supreme punished Darren by gifting him with a complimentary 30-day suspension of his law license. 

As we speak (ca. November 2016), Darren practices at 1007 Pendleton in Greenville, South Carolina.
