 Attorney Jeffrey Catanzarite of Akron, Dishonest Bully
 
The state of Ohio presented Jeffrey A. Catanzarite with a law license in 1979 after he graduated from the University of Akron Law School.
 
The Akron Bar Association’s Grievance Committee found Jeffrey guilty of the following misconduct.
  1. Filing a lawsuit to merely harass someone
  2. Engaging in conduct adversely reflecting on his fitness to practice law
  3. Charging excessive fees (crook)
In one case two partners contacted Jeffrey about possibly hiring him in regards to problems with a third partner and an outstanding bank loan. Jeffrey advised them that there would be no fee for the first meeting and if they decided to hire him he would need a $1,000 retainer. Jeffrey also told them the maximum fee would be $5,000.
 
The two partners never agreed to hire Jeffrey; however this didn’t stop Jeffrey from threatening them and also using profanity when he knew his extortionist efforts weren’t going to pay off. The grievance committee specifically ruled that Jeffrey’s lawsuit demanding $5,000 was clearly excessive since it meant he was demanding an hourly fee of $2,500.
 
Jeffrey Proves he’s a Certified Moron and Crook
 
In an effort to forever cement his status as a Moronic Crook, Jeffrey gave answers to the following questions during the disciplinary hearing.
 
Q.   “Well, do you think it is fair to sue somebody for $5,000 for two hours worth of time?
A.   “I am sure defense lawyers do it all the time. I would say yes. They go $5,000 worth of advise anyway. They were too ignorant to follow it.”
Q.   “I though you said earlier that you got a call from Mr. Joyce indicating that he ---
A.   “It went well. They got $5,000 worth of advice. They paid nothing for it. I am glad they had problems. They deserve it. That is what shysters get for their dishonest.”
 
How this buffoon (my apologies to buffoons) has the chutzpah to call someone a “shyster” is beyond me. Obviously, Jeff missed his calling as a standup comedian.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Jeffrey by gifting him with a complimentary six-month suspension of his law license.
 
As we speak (ca. May 2012) Jeffrey practices law at 372 Afton Avenue in Akron, Ohio.
