Attorney Harry DePietro of Girard, OH; ethical dwarf

The state of Ohio presented Harry Joseph DePietro with a law license in 1989 after he graduated Ohio State University Law School.

Disciplinary Counsel of the Ohio Supreme Court found Harry guilty of the following misconduct

• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law
• Accepted employment when improper to do so

In one matter, Harry found it acceptable to engage in a romantic relationship with a client shortly after he agreed to represent her in a personal injury case.

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court punished Harry by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. February 2014) Harry practices at 7 West Liberty Street in Girard, Ohio.
