Attorney Max Ernst of Philadelphia; ethical gremlin

The state of Pennsylvania presented Max Josef Ernst with a law license in 2008 after he graduated from Loyola University Law School in New Orleans. 

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) has found Max guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
• Failed to comply with client’s requests for information
• Failed to explain matter to extent necessary for client to make informed decision regarding representation
• Collected an illegal or clearly excessive fee (cheater)
• Made a false statement of material fact
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation

As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court punished Max by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. June 2014) Max practices with Braverman Kaskey, PC at One Penn Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
