Attorney Lewis E. Williams, Jr. of Columbus, OH; moron

 
The state of Ohio presented Lewis Eugene Williams, Jr. with a law license in 1974 after he graduated from Capitol University Law School in Columbus, Ohio.
 
The Columbus Bar Association Grievance Committee found Lewis guilty of the following misconduct.
  1. Neglected client matters (slacker)
  2. Failed to provide competent representation (moron)
  3. Failed to communicate with clients
  4. Failed to withdraw from representation when he was mentally impaired
  5. Failed to keep clients informed of the status of their legal matters
In one matter, Lewis was appointed to appeal a man’s rape conviction; however, the moron failed to file an appellate brief, and the case was dismissed.
 
In another matter, Lewis was appointed to defend a defendant charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated murder. Lewis abandoned his client by not appearing for the trial.
 
Lewis’ hyperbolic (BS) Defenses
 
Lewis had the chutzpah to defend his gross negligence by claiming he didn’t file the appellate brief because he “suffered from depression and frequently used marijuana.” The weed made me do it!
 
As to not appearing for his client’s trial, Lewis testified that “he just did not leave his office when it was time to go to trial.” Obviously, Lewis missed his calling as a standup comedian.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Lewis by gifting him with a stayed 2-year suspension of his law license. In truth, Lewis didn’t receive any real punishment from the comedians sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court.
 
As we speak (ca. June 2012) Lewis continues to practice law at 400 South 5th Street in Columbus, Ohio.
