What rules do you HAVE to follow? Don't steal shit from clients and always, always, ALWAYS make sure you meet Supreme Court guidelines for filing. That's pretty much it. Look at Bloomfield, guy committed fraud on the court how many times, and he's going to be an attorney again.

The Nevada Supreme Court would repeatedly deny any attempt at discipline, indicating that a "garden variety" DUI was not something that was really actionable against the current ethics rules. Although I never had any stake in this, it became kind of annoying because it seemed to me to be a complete and total waste of our dues for what clearly was an agenda to attempt to fuck over attorneys in this regard.<br /><br />By "garden variety" DUI's, I'm referring to DUI's that had no property damage, no personal injuries, and something that was merely a little over the limit - not something so high that they were refer out for alcohol assessments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-53178754330579215802015-09-22T14:25:16.925-07:002015-09-22T14:25:16.925-07:00Makes total sense.

Gage got 3 years probation. Awand got 4 months (not counting the tax evasion conviction). Keith Gregory got 10 years for not rolling over.
