Kormanik served as a court-appointed guardian for hundreds of people in central Ohio. He has pleaded not guilty to 11 felony counts including theft from an elderly or disabled person, records-tampering and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity
The Columbus Bar Association last month also brought 15 charges of professional misconduct against Kormanik, including misrepresentation of clients, misusing their money and making false statements.
His attorneys have requested to postpone the trial, which is scheduled to begin June 22.

There must be a big advantage on giving up the license rather than having it taken away as this seems to be what most bad lawyers do when the curtains are closing in on them.
If he had an ounce of integrity (and we know he doesn't or he wouldn't have done what he did), he'd just admit the crime and save the taxpayers money.
Sixty-five-year-old Paul Kormanik needs to be sentenced to PRISON with no mercy.
What a shameful disgrace but we know this lowlife coward - yes coward stealing from helpless people using the court as a shield - is one of many that's part of the reason of how the racket was designed.
Who designed this racked?
LAWYERS connect the dots.....$.........$$$........$$$ guaranteed meg bucks all in the best interest and well being of the ward? the protected persons?
We need old West justice show me the nearest oak tree I will supply the rope.
Yep -- I agree wiser, jail time is in order!
Jail time is what this man deserves.
