Attorney Steven Rensch of Mesa, AZ; ethical troll

The state of Arizona presented Steven R. Rensch with a law license in 1983 after he graduated from the University of Arizona School of Law.  

The Arizona State Bar found Stevie guilty of engaging in the following misconduct. 

• Improperly deposited earned fees into his trust account
• Commingled a “bury” of his own funds in his trust account to guard against “an unusual occurrence” rather than maintain administrative funds to cover bank fees
• Failed to keep individual client or administrative fund ledgers
• Improperly discarded deposit slips because “the transaction is official once it appears on the bank statement”
• Knowingly violated the trust account rules of which he was aware
• Drew the State bar’s attention three times in the past for trust accounting violations
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Refused to acknowledge wrongful conduct

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Arizona Supreme Court punished Stevie by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand and assessed costs of the disciplinary proceeding in the amount of $1,200.00.

As we speak (ca. April 2019) Stevie practices with the Law Office of Steven Rensch at 3121 East Fargo Circle in Mesa, Arizona.
