Attorney Steven Surdut of Westerly, RI; idiotic slacker

The state of Connecticut provided Steven H. Surdut with a law license in 2013 after he graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Law.

The Statewide Grievance Committee found Stevie guilty of the following misconduct.

• Violated or attempted to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, knowingly assisted or induced another to do so, or did so through the acts of another 
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Failed to provide competent representation (idiot)
• Failed to abide by client’s decisions
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to communicate with client
• Charged and/or collected an unreasonable fee (cheater)
• Failed to safeguard client funds
• Ordered to pay $700 in restitution to former client (victim)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the patron saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Statewide Grievance Committee punished Stevie by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.  

As we speak (ca. December 2019) Stevie practices with the Law Office of Steven H. Surdut at 101 Franklin Street in Westerly, Rhode Island.
