Attorney John W. Alderman III of Charleston, WV; cokehead

 
The state of West Virginia presented John W. Alderman III with a law license in 1993.
 
Disciplinary Counsel found John guilty of the following misconduct.
  1. Engaged in conduct involving fraud, dishonest, deceit or misrepresentation
  2. Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on his fitness to practice law
  3. Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
John was charged with the felony offense of possession with intent to deliver and a misdemeanor offense of possession of a controlled substance (cocaine) after he was pulled over by a police officer in Kanawha County. The officer found 2.6 grams of cocaine in an eye glass case in John’s car. John subsequently pleaded no contest to possession of cocaine and was given a complimentary 90-day suspended sentence.
 
Three months later, John was stopped by the police for failure to stop at a stop light. He was also charged with possession of a controlled substance and for obstructing an officer. While searching John’s car, the officer found two homemade smoking pipes and several Zanax pill. John subsequently pleaded no contest to obstructing an office and given another complimentary 30-day suspended sentence.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the West Virginia Supreme Court punished John by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.
 
As we speak (ca. September 2012) John practices with the Law Offices of John W. Alderman III at 3 Monticello Place in Charleston, West Virginia.
