Attorney Osbaldo Barragan of Phoenix; ethical loser

 
The state of Arizona presented Osbaldo M. Barragan with a law license in 1987 after he graduated from Antioch University Law School.
 
The Arizona State Bar found Osbaldo guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.
  1. Failed to provide competent legal services (moron)
  2. Failed to act with reasonable diligence (slacker)
  3. Failed to act in a fair manner towards opposing counsel
  4. Made false statements to the State Bar investigators
  5. Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
Osbaldo represented a client in a medical malpractice and a auto accident case. In the medical malpractice case, Osbaldo failed to conduct necessary discovery causing his client’s case to be dismissed. Osbaldo also failed to take act ion on the auto accident case and his client’s claims were barred from ever being filed by the statute of limitations.
 
Subsequently, the client filed a legal malpractice case against Osbaldo. Negotiations led Osbaldo to agree to pay the client $20,000 to settle all claims. However, Osbaldo did not abide by the terms of the settlement. The client was forced to file a motion to enforce the settlement agreement, and a court judgment was entered against Osbaldo. Osbaldo took no action to satisfy the judgment before the client filed a Bar complaint and the client was unable to collect on her judgment.
 
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Arizona Supreme Court punished Osbaldo by gifting him with a complimentary censure. .
 
As we speak (ca. October 2012) Osbaldo practices at 650 North 1st Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
Caution: Osbaldo does not carry legal malpractice insurance
