In Re: Edward Bissau Mendy

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana affirmed the disciplinary board’s recommendation, permanently disbarring Edward Bissau Mendy, prohibiting any future readmission, and ordering restitution of $7,000 plus interest and costs. The court held that the misconduct—failure to perform legal work, refusal to refund unearned fees, and obstruction of the disciplinary process—warrants the maximum sanction, especially given Mendy’s repeated prior violations.
