Attorney Rodney Erdey of Denham Springs, LA; ethical elf

 
The state of Louisiana presented Rodney Nicholas Erdey with a law license in 1991.
 
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel found Rodney guilty of the following misconduct.
 
In one matter, Ms. Sondra Renee Thompson hired Rodney to represent her after a neighbor’s dog bit her daughter. After the case went to trial, Ms. Thompson’s daughter was awarded $35,000 plus special damages of $9,330 less $1,000 already provided to the client.
 
After the trial, the defendants offered a reduced amount of $38,500 with the condition that they would not seek appellate review of the trial judgment. The defendants would also get credit for the $1,000 already paid. After discussing the matter with Rodney, Ms. Thompson accepted the settlement offer.
 
As a result of a settlement in the case, all of the medical bills incurred by the daughter were supposed to be paid from the settlement proceeds. After the funds were paid by the defendants, Rodney prepared two settlement accountings. The first included Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, who had previously perfected a lien for its medical bills. The second settlement accounting omitted Our Lady of the Lake’s medical bills.
 
Subsequently, the client was forced to pay the medical bills to Our Lady of the Lake due to Rodney’s negligent conduct.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the Louisiana Supreme Court punished Rodney by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
 
As we speak (ca) January 2013) Rodney practices at 172 Del Norte Avenue in Denham Springs, Louisiana.
