In re Carey, John Joseph, 99SH0067
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 05/22/2003
End Date of Disposition 11/22/2003
Definition of Disposition Suspension for a specified period reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, which is a fixed period of time identified in the Supreme Court's order. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Carey, who was licensed in 1988, and Mr. Danis, who was licensed in 1994, were both suspended for six months. They engaged in a conflict of interest when they represented a plaintiff in a class action against Chrysler Corporation, having formerly represented Chrysler in a substantially related matter. In addition, during the course of federal litigation where Chrysler had sued them for breaching their fiduciary duties, they submitted false discovery responses.
