Attorney Mark Epperson of Glendive, MT; ethical dwarf

 

The state of Montana presented Mark Andrew Epperson with a law license in 2002.

 

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel has charged Mark with engaging in the following misconduct, all of which took place while he was employed as a assistant public defender.

 

In one matter, Mark found it appropriate and/or acceptable to engage in going after a trial judge who refused to accept a plea deal that he had arranged for his client. Mark then sent an email to the prosecutor and court clerk stating that he and his client were going to be now-shows for the scheduled trial. The email went on to say:

 

“One more thing, neither my client nor I will show up if the judge refuses to vacate the trial set for July 8, and he can throw my ass in jail for contempt if he chooses.”

 

Mark’s wishes came true when the trial judge found him guilty of contempt of court and fined him accordingly.

 

All that remains now is to see what if any punishment is meted out to Mark by the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Montana Supreme Court.

 

As we speak (ca. February 2016), Mark practices at 100 ½ South Merrill Avenue in Glendive, Montana.
