Attorney Ernest Shaver of Phoenix; ethical dwarf

The state of Arizona presented Ernest E. Shaver with a law license in 1989 after he graduated from William & Mary University Law School.

The Arizona State Bar found Ernie guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to consult with client so client could make informed decisions re: representation
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to communicate with client
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Charged an excessive fee
• Failed to safeguard client property
• Misconduct involved multiple offenses
• Failed to take necessary steps to protect client’s interest after being discharged

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Arizona Supreme Court punished Ernie by gifting him with a complimentary censure.

As we speak (ca. October 2014) Ernie practices in the Phoenix, Arizona area.
