Attorney Willie Davis of
The state of
The Board of Bar Overseers found Willie guilty of the following misconduct.
In one matter, Willie represented a client in a criminal case involving a bar fight that led to the death of the other person. Subsequently, the criminal trial ended in a mistrial after which the client entered an Alford plea to manslaughter in exchange for a term of probation.
Willie then agreed to represent the client in defending a civil wrongful death action. However, Willie failed to appear at the court scheduled trial, thereby forcing his client to represent himself. As a consequence of Willie’s gross negligence in failing to appear at the trial to defend his client, the jury awarded a $600,000 judgment against his client.
As one would suspect, this wasn’t Willie’s 1st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. He previously received a complimentary admonition for engaging in a variety of misconduct.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Board of Overseers punished Willie by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
