ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS
On November 1, 2011, the Supreme Court issued orders suspending 227 attorneys for noncompliance with Gov.Bar R.

This is followed by a list of the attorneys who were suspended. The list includes each attorney’s Attorney Registration Number.
Because an attorney suspended pursuant to Gov.Bar R. VI can be reinstated immediately upon application, an attorney whose name appears below may have been reinstated prior to publication of this notice. Please contact the Office of Attorney Services at 614/387-9320 to determine the current status of an attorney whose name appears below.
