New Hampshire Lawyer Disbarred

Sep 20th, 2012 by projectlawsuitabuse

How would you like it if the lawyer representing your case demanded $2 million in fees on the morning of the case, threatening to drop it otherwise?

This is just one example of the outrageous conduct by Timothy O'Meara, a former trial lawyer in New Hampshire who also made settlement demands without his clients consent.

The New Hampshire Supreme Court came to the correct decision in disbarring O'Meara and rejecting his appeal. The Associated Press quotes Justice Carol Ann Conboy, writing that "No lesser sanction will suffice."

We're glad that the New Hampshire courts have acknowledged how outrageous and unacceptable this behavior is! Now if only we could take a look at some other trial lawyers across the US...
