PA Lawyer, John Biondi, Disbarred for Abandoning Support Clients, Ignoring Discipline

A western Pennsylvania attorney has been disbarred after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's Office of Disciplinary Counsel determined he abandoned three clients in domestic relations cases and didn't respond to attempts to discipline him.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports 46-year-old John Biondi, of Beaver County, was first disciplined when a judge in neighboring Butler County removed him from three cases for failing to respond to court notices in three cases. The Office of Disciplinary Counsel initially sought only to censure or reprimand Biondi, but moved forward with disbarment after he repeatedly failed to respond to disciplinary notices or appear at hearings.

    Was the guy just a thief, or did he take on more cases than he could handle?

    Silly actions. Why would a lawyer ignore discipline. He/she is not going to get away with it so why not just face it?
