Attorney Peter Meisner of River Ridge, LA; ethical elf

The state of Louisiana presented Peter M Meisner with a law license in 1979 after he graduated from the Louisiana State University (LSU).

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel found Pete guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to keep disputed funds in separate trust account as required
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice

• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
