Attorney  Cynthia Sims of Honolulu; ethical goblin

The state of Hawaii presented Cynthia Lock Sims with a law license in 1992 after she graduated from the Mercer Beasley School of Law.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel found Cindy guilty of the following misconduct.

• Improperly deposited client’s $3,000 advance fee into her account rather than into a mandated client trust account
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Misconduct involved multiple offenses
• Failed to fully cooperate with ethics investigators (Screw you, said Cynthia!)
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Had a dishonest or selfish motive in using unearned client funds for personal use
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation

As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Hawaii Supreme Court punished Cindy by gifting her with a complimentary 1-year suspension of her law license.

As we speak (ca. August 2018) Cindy practices at 7192 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu, Hawaii.
