Attorney Steven Philo of Charlotte; repeat offender The state of North Carolina presented Steven E. Philo with a law license in 2002.
The North Carolina State Bar charged Steven with misconduct on at least two occasions.
Steven’s 1st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree – 2005
 Steven was associated with an entity called Gina & Vic, which owns a franchise called The Closing Place. The Closing Place provides settlement agent services in residential real estate closings. The Closing Place sought to engage in such business in Franklin, North Carolina.
Steven then sent letters to realtors which contained statements suggesting that The Closing Place could provide services for real estate closings, including his firms’ legal services, for fees quoted in the letter. Steven’s conduct constituted assisting non-attorneys to engage in the illegal practice of law. Of course Steven absolutely knew that his conduct violated North Carolina law.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Disciplinary Commission punished Steven by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
Steven’s 2nd bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree – 2011
As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Disciplinary Commission punished Steven by gifting him with a stayed complimentary 3-year suspension of his law license. In truth, the comedians sitting on the Commission didn’t mete out any real punishment to Mark.
As we speak (September 2012) Steven practices at 244 Porter Street in Franklin, North Carolina.
