Attorney Bassel Bakhos of Parsippany, NJ; ethical troll  

The state of New Jersey presented Bassel Bakhos with a law license in 2002 after he graduated from Catholic University School of Law.

The New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics found Basil guilty of the following misconduct.

• Engaged in a pattern of neglect
• Failed to communicate with several clients
• Failed to withdraw representation when required to so act
• Failed to act with candor toward a tribunal
