Valeriano Diviacchi v. Board of Overseers of the Bar

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Diviacchi's petition for reinstatement to the Maine bar. It held that the single justice did not err or abuse her discretion in finding that Diviacchi failed to recognize the wrongfulness and seriousness of his misconduct, failed to demonstrate the requisite honesty and integrity, and failed to satisfy continuing legal education requirements. The court also upheld the twenty-seven-month waiting period before he may reapply and rejected his due process and equal protection challenges.
