Attorney Walter Harris of Petersburg, VA; Dumbo, slacker

The state of Virginia presented Walter Ballard Harris with a law license in 1991 after he graduated from the University of Richmond Law School.

The Virginia State Bar Disciplinary found Walt guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to advise client of status of legal matter
• Failed to provide competent representation (Dumbo)
• Failed to respond to client phone calls
• Failed to take any formal action on client claims
• Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Virginia Bar Disciplinary Board punished Walt by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand. 

As we speak (ca. October 2019), Walt practices with the Petersburg Public Defender’s Office at 105 Marshall Street in Petersburg, Virginia.
