Attorney Eugene Axelrod of Woodbridge, CT; lying Dufus

 
The state of Connecticut provided Eugene N. Axelrod with a law license in 1986.
 
The Statewide Grievance Committee found Eugene guilty of the following misconduct.
 
Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation
Knowingly misrepresented the truth when dealing with others
 
After Eugene left the employ of Perkins & Mario, P.C., he entered into a written fee splitting agreement with the firm that provided for a 50/50 split of payments on the outstanding balance for legal fees for Wire and Cable Company (WCC) in the amount of $42,187.43.
 
After Eugene left the firm, he continued to represent WCC. Several months later, WCC had not received any payment of the WCC outstanding invoice and retained counsel to collect from WCC. Several days later, Eugene disclosed to Perkins & Mario that he had negotiated the WCC bill without Perkins’ authorization.
 
Prior to disclosing he had settled the WCC invoice, Eugene lied to Perkins & Mario by indicating to them that WCC had not may any payments.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Statewide Grievance Committee punished Eugene by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
 
As we speak (ca. February 2013) Eugene practices with Axelrod & Associates at 8 Lunar Drive in Woodbridge, Connecticut.
 
On his self-serving website at www.axelrodlegal.com, Eugene doesn’t make any mention of the scam he pulled on his prior employer, the Perkins & Mario, P.C. law firm. However, Eugene has the chutzpah to promote himself by claiming he once worked in New York City with the premier law firm of Phillip, Nizer, Benjamin, Krim and Balloon.
 
Apparently, Eugene chose to not disclose his misconduct as aforementioned to prospective clients in an effort to not limit his future victim pool.
