: Cleveland Law Library WeblogSuspended and Disqualified Attorneys Cannot Meet Clients or Handle Their Funds
By Cleveland Law Library
Starting September 1st, attorneys who have been either suspended or disqualified will not be able to have any client contact and will not be able to handle client funds. Currently, Rule V of the Rules for the Government of the Bar of Ohio does not prohibit these actions, as long as they do not constitute the practice of law.
