Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Farmer

Summary

The Court adopted the hearing judge’s factual findings and concluded that George L. Farmer violated multiple professional-conduct rules by practicing law in Maryland without authorization, representing clients with conflicting interests, charging unreasonable fees, and filing a frivolous federal lawsuit. The Court overruled the parties’ exceptions and imposed an indefinite suspension, concluding that the misconduct, aggravating factors, and Farmer’s refusal to recognize the wrongful nature of his conduct warranted that sanction. No separate opinions were filed.
