Attorney Scott Schwartz of Wethersfield, CT; ethical leprechaun

The state of Connecticut provided Scott Michael Schwartz with a law license in 2003.

The Statewide Grievance Committee found Scotty guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to comply with opposing parties discovery requests
• Failed to object to motion to dismiss client’s lawsuit
• Scotty’s negligence led to client’s case being dismissed
• Abandoned client by failing to perform any work on client’s behalf
• Failed to attend hearing on client’s behalf
• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
• Failed to respond to client requests for information
• Failed to reply to repeated client phone calls
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
• Lied to his client that his lawsuit was proceeding smoothly when in fact it had been dismissed
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Failed to respond to ethics complaint (Up yours, said Scotty!)

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Statewide Grievance Committee punished Scotty by gifting him with a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. November 2014) Scotty practices with the Schwartz Law Office at 415 Silas Deane Highway in Wethersfield, Connecticut.
