Disposition Disbarment
Effective Date of Disposition 11/15/2018
End Date of Disposition No disposition end date scheduled at this time. Discipline continues until further order of the Court.
Definition of Disposition Disbarment is a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct warranting the most serious sanction. The disbarred lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the disbarment and may not return to the practice of law unless and until he or she has demonstrated his or her rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case, which may not be filed until five years after the effective date of the disbarment.
Case Summary Mr. Barringer, who was licensed in 1983, was disbarred. While his law license was suspended for earlier misconduct, he represented a client in an eminent domain case, failed to disclose to that client that he was suspended from the practice of law and could not give legal advice or prepare pleadings, and did not return the $1,500 legal fee paid by the client.

Disposition Suspension for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court
Effective Date of Disposition 05/14/2015
End Date of Disposition
Definition of Disposition A suspension until further order of the Court 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 and until the lawyer has demonstrated rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Barringer, who was licensed in 1983, was suspended for six months and until further order of the Court. He repeatedly asserted frivolous issues in income tax-related federal litigation.

Disposition Censure
Effective Date of Disposition 09/21/2001
End Date of Disposition Not Applicable. Censures and reprimands do not affect the authority of the lawyer to continue to practice law.
Definition of Disposition A censure reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but that the violation is not so serious to warrant a sanction that would affect the lawyer’s authority to continue to practice law. As a result, censure does not affect the authority of a lawyer to continue to practice law.
Case Summary Mr. Barringer, who was licensed in 1983, was censured. On behalf of a client, he filed a motion to substitute a judge that contained statements that he knew or should have known were false. Specifically, he made erroneous statements regarding the judge's application for a loan and further alleged that the judge had conducted an ex parte interview with his client’s son when, in fact, no such interview had ever taken place.
