Attorney Joseph Casanova of New Orleans; lying thief

 
The state of Louisiana presented Joseph R. Casanova with a law license in 1987.
 
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel found Joseph guilty of the following misconduct.
  1. Failed to act with reasonable diligence (slacker)
  2. Refused to refund unearned attorney fees (crook)
  3. Refused to return client’s file to client after being fired
  4. Failed to cooperate with ethics investigation (Up Yours, said Joey!)
Joey’s Hyperbolic (BS) Defenses
 
In defense of his misconduct, Joey had the chutzpah to claim his refusal to cooperate with investigators was due to his personal problems as well as related stress and depression. However, the hearing officer stated that Joey presented absolutely no evidence or medical testimony to support his claim that he was depressed and/or under stress so debilitating as to prevent or otherwise hamper his cooperation with Disciplinary Counsel. Joey the Coward also blamed his misconduct on his wife’s actions during their divorce.
 
The reason Joey didn’t present any medical evidence of his claimed depression and stress is because it was pure Bullshit.
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Louisiana Supreme Court punished Joseph by gifting him with a complimentary 18-month suspension of his law license.
 
As we speak (ca) September 2012) Joseph practices with the Law Office of Joseph Casanova at 650 Poydras Street in New Orleans, Louisiana.
