Attorney Leo Talikka of Painesville, OH; crooked loser

 
The state of Ohio presented Leo Johnny Talikka with a law license in 1968 after he graduated from Ohio Northern University Law School located in Ada, Ohio.
 
The Akron Bar Association found Leo guilty of the following misconduct.
  1. Failed to refund unearned fees to two clients (crook)
  2. Failed to respond to client’s requests for information
  3. Failed to safeguard client funds
  4. Failed to reconcile trust account on monthly basis as required for 4 clients
  5. Failed to promptly disburse funds to clients legally owed to them
  6. Failed to obtain signed closing settlement statements from clients as required
  7. Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
  8. Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
  9. Misconduct involved multiple offenses
  10. Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
  11. Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law
  12. Clearly acted with selfish or dishonest motive
  13. Failed to make required restitution to clients (victims)
  14. Victims of Leo’s misconduct were known to him to be vulnerable
  15. Failed to maintain client ledger accounts
In one matter, Leo filed a lawsuit Lake County on behalf of a client. Subsequently, Leo settled the case for $300,000 and deposited the funds into his trust account. He then paid $160,000 to the client and paid himself $100,000 in fees. After paying various medical bills on the client’s behalf, Leo owed the client $39,196.70.
 
Even though Leo placed the entire $300,000 into a trust account, at various time the account reached as low as $664.47.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Leo by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.
 
As we speak (ca. August 2013), Leo practices with Leo J. Talikka Co. LPA at 10 West Erie Street in Painesville, Ohio.
