Supreme Court of South Carolina

Wadette Cothrane v. State Farm

November 22, 2017

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court accepted a disciplinary agreement and issued a public reprimand to the respondent attorney for multiple violations of North Carolina and South Carolina professional conduct rules. The Court found the attorney’s fee‑agreement disclosures, failure to withdraw after termination, and forged settlement documents constituted misconduct warranting discipline, and imposed remedial conditions.
