Eugene Alan Shapiro is disbarred from the practice of law in Maryland following a Joint Petition for Disbarment By-Consent, filed under Maryland Rule 16-772. This decision, issued by the Court of Appeals of Maryland on November 3, 2015, comes after he was previously indefinitely suspended on January 30, 2015. The disbarment is due to additional professional misconduct, violating several rules of the Maryland Lawyers’ Rules of Professional Conduct, specifically Rules 1.1, 1.2(a), 1.3, 1.4, 1.16(a) and (d), 8.1(a) and (b), and 8.4(a), (c), and (d). The Court has ordered the Clerk to certify this disbarment to the Trustees of the Client Protection Fund and to the clerks of all Maryland courts. Additionally, a judgment of $910.95 has been entered in favor of the Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland against Shapiro.
