Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Yeatman

Summary

The Supreme Court of Maryland held that attorney Francis Edward Yeaman violated multiple Maryland Attorneys’ Rules of Professional Conduct, including competence, diligence, communication, bar‑admission obligations, and general misconduct, and ordered his disbarment. The Court affirmed the hearing judge’s findings of fact, applied a de novo review of conclusions of law, and found the aggravating factors outweighed any mitigating considerations.
