Supreme Court of Maryland

Attorney Grievance v. Singh

April 7, 2023483 Md. 417

Summary

The Court granted the Attorney Grievance Commission’s motion to dismiss the disciplinary petition against Raj Sanjeet Singh, dismissed the case with prejudice, ordered the Commission to pay court costs, and denied Singh’s request for attorney’s fees. The decision rested on the lack of a sanctioning purpose given the long suspension, significant mitigating factors, and the applicability of the American rule to attorney’s fees.
