Attorney Michael Collins of Kihei, HI; ignoramus, slacker

The state of Hawaii presented Michael John Collins with a law license in 2008 after he graduated from American University School of Law. 

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel found Mikey guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Lied about status of New Jersey law license to ethics investigators (Screw you, said Mikey!)
• Engaged in illegal practice of law while license suspended
• Failed to provide competent representation (moron)
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
• Advertised as a “Certified Legal Consultant” while law license suspended
• Implied he could achieve results in the courts by means that would violate Hawaii Rules of Professional Conduct  and relevant law
• Mikey advertised legal services while suspended from practice
• In his advertisements while suspended, Mikey he made material misrepresentations of face regarding his lawful right to practice law
• In one matter, Mikey spoke in a loud and aggressive manner to the presiding judge, and threatened the judge
• In a second matter, Mikey yelled at the presiding judge and made a series of condescending and disrespectful statements directed at the judge
• In a third matter, Mikey yelled and interrupted opposing counsel sent an email directed at a fellow attorney, wherein he threatened to present criminal charges against the attorney for the  sole purpose of obtaining an advantage in a civil matter
• In a fourth matter, Mikey refused to cease interrupting opposing counsel
• In a fifth matter, Mikey refused to obey the court’s directives to limit himself to legal argument, and to cease speaking when directed to do so by the court (Screw you, said Mikey!)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on Disciplinary Counsel punished Mikey by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 2-year suspension of his law license.

In truth, the comedians sitting on Disciplinary Counsel didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Mikey

As we speak (ca. October 2023), Mikey practices his so-called brand of law at 2747 South Kihei Road in Kihei, Hawaii.
