Attorney Michael Heller of Euclid, OH; imbecilic slacker

The state of Ohio provided Michael Aaron Heller with a law license in 2001 after he graduated from Cleveland State University School of Law.

Disciplinary Counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court found Mikey guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Illegally shared fees with nonlawyer
• Failed to properly supervise office staff
• Knowingly made false statements in client’s bankruptcy petition regarding amount of attorney fees the client owed to Mikey
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Failed to provide competent representation (imbecile)
• Failed to keep adequate records for each client
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to adequately prepare and review client bankruptcy filings and schedules
• Misconduct involved multiple offenses
• Failed to attend first meeting of creditors on client’s behalf
• Failed to advise client regarding how she might exempt her vehicle to protect it from creditors
• Failed to reasonably consult with his client regarding means by which her objectives were to be accomplished
• Failed to explain to his client the options to the extent reasonably necessary to permit her to make informed decisions
• Failed to notify client in writing she may be entitled to a refund of attorney fees if the representation was not completed by Mikey for any reason
• Pled guilty driving under the influence (DUI)
• Convicted of driving on sidewalk while drunk
• Fled scene of accident
• Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice
• Misconduct involved dishonesty or selfish motive
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme punished Mikey by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. July 2020), Mikey practices with Michael Heller Law LLC at 333 Babbitt Road in Euclid, Ohio.
