Citations: 127 Ohio St. 3d 1437; 937 N.E.2d 117Docket: 2010-1995
Court: Ohio Supreme Court; November 22, 2010; Ohio; State Supreme Court
On November 16, 2010, the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline of the Supreme Court of Ohio certified a felony conviction against attorney Marc Norman Greenberg, leading to his interim suspension from legal practice. Effective immediately, Greenberg is prohibited from practicing law, representing clients, advising, or preparing legal documents. He is divested of all rights associated with being a member in good standing of the Ohio legal profession. Before entering any employment with a law firm, he must verify compliance with registration requirements. If employed, he must avoid direct client contact and handling client trust funds. Greenberg is required to complete continuing legal education hours during his suspension, including specific training on professional conduct. Reinstatement to practice is contingent upon compliance with the Supreme Court Rules and the court’s specific orders. Additionally, he must reimburse any amounts awarded from the Clients’ Security Fund within 90 days, and reimburse any future awards similarly within the same timeframe. Respondent is ordered to take specific actions within 30 days of the order's date, including: (1) notifying all clients and co-counsel about their suspension and disqualification, emphasizing the urgency for clients to find alternative legal representation; (2) delivering or arranging for the return of client-related papers or property and notifying clients of the urgency of collection; (3) refunding any unearned fees or expenses and accounting for trust property in their control; (4) informing opposing counsel or adverse parties of their disqualification and filing a notice of disqualification with the relevant court or agency; (5) sending all required notices via certified mail, including a return address for further communication; (6) filing an affidavit with proof of compliance and service of notices with the court clerk and Disciplinary Counsel; (7) maintaining a record of compliance actions. Respondent must also keep the Clerk, Dayton Bar Association, and Disciplinary Counsel informed of any address changes. All documents filed must adhere to the Supreme Court of Ohio's filing requirements and relevant access rules. Service of this and all related orders is considered effective if sent to the last known address of the respondent. The Clerk is directed to issue certified copies of this order, and publication costs will be borne by the respondent.
