Attorney Michael Tafoya of Maricopa; ethical goblin

The state of Arizona presented Michael G. Tafoya with a law license in 1998 after he graduated from Arizona State University Law School.

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

• Failed to maintain current address with State Bar as required
• Failed to comply with court scheduling order
• Obstructed opposing party’s attempt to comply with court scheduling order
• Asserted issue wherein there wasn’t a good faith basis in law or fact
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to communicate with client
• Failed to expedite litigation
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice

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

As we speak (ca. October 2014) Mike practices in the Maricopa, Arizona area.

Warning: Mike doesn’t carry legal malpractice insurance
