Shelbyville Attorney Suspended After Secretary’s Felony Theft

0

A Shelbyville lawyer whose legal secretary was convicted of felony theft and fraud charges has been suspended for 60 days for his failure to supervise the secretary’s actions.

Attorney James Lisher’s attorney discipline case traces all the way back to 2001, when he hired nonlawyer Heather Brant to work for him at the Lisher Law Office in Shelbyville. Brant worked for Lisher until 2018 and was given “broad authority” to handle tasks including client communication, banking and electronic filing.

But in 2018, Brant stile thousands of dollars from the firm’s operating account, overdrafted its trust account and created several fraudulent court orders and other legal documents. Lisher did not maintain appropriate trust account records, a Thursday discipline order says, so “Brant’s improper actions were enabled in significant part by Respondent’s failure to appropriately supervise her.”

Online court records show Brant pleaded guilty last October to theft, identity deception and fraud on a financial institution, all as Level 5 felonies.

She was sentenced to concurrent terms of 2,190 days in the Department of Correction, with 2,189 days suspended and one day executed. She was given one day of actual credit and was ordered to serve 2,189 days on probation.

Brant was also ordered to pay $178,387.16 in restitution. Of that amount, $72,790.96 was to be paid to Lisher.

A compliance hearing in Brant’s case is set for 8:30 a.m. July 16 in Johnson Superior Court 2.

“The parties cite Respondent’s substantial experience in the practice of law as a fact in aggravation,” the Indiana Supreme Court wrote in the discipline order. “In mitigation the parties cite among other things Respondent’s lack of prior discipline, his lack of dishonest or selfish motive, his restitution to affected clients, and his cooperation with the disciplinary process.”

Lisher was found to have violated five Indiana Professional Conduct and Admission and Discipline Rules: Rule 1.5(a), Rule 5.3(b), Rule 23(29)(a)(3), Rule 23(29)(a)(7) and Rule 23(29)(c)(7).

The parties agreed on the 60-day suspension with automatic reinstatement in In the Matter of: James R. Lisher, 19S-DI-535.

Commentary: The Senate’s Strange Aversion Of Searching For The Truth

2
By John Krull

TheStatehouseFile.com 

INDIANAPOLIS – The truth, it seems, won’t set President Donald Trump-free.

That’s what the opening skirmishing over the rules regarding the president’s impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate has made clear.

Democrats, almost 70 percent of the public and, somewhat surprisingly, a small plurality of Republicans want the trial to include witnesses and to have the White House produce requested documents.

The president doesn’t want witnesses. Nor does he want to release documents pertaining to his administration’s contacts with Ukraine’s government.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, has tried to stand with the president on this. He drafted a set of trial procedures that would have done a Soviet bureaucrat proud.

They were so draconian that 15 or so GOP senators – perhaps mindful that not even a majority of Republican voters supported the Trump/McConnell stonewall – pushed back. McConnell relented and relaxed the rules.

And the president railed at an impromptu press conference that, once again, the whole thing was a witch hunt.

To those who are not part of the Trump cult or, for that matter, not rabid partisans on either side, the whole thing seems more than a little bizarre.

To most rational people, the solution seems obvious:

Release the relevant documents. Let the Democrats call the witnesses they want. Let the Republicans and the president call the witnesses they want.

Each side should make a case.

Then we’ll sort out what happened and decide what we want, should or must do.

But, again, that’s the way reasonable people approach things.

It’s certainly not the way things get done in the Trump world, where truth often is viewed as an obstacle rather than a virtue.

Democrats haven’t helped themselves in making the case that finding the truth is the true goal.

The Democrats’ reluctance to let Republicans call Hunter Biden is mystifying. If the GOP wants to turn the president’s defense into a sideshow, they should be allowed to do so. Most Americans are going to be smart enough to see through that.

Besides, the best guess is that even the sharpest questioning of former Vice President Joe Biden’s remaining son is going to reveal he is nothing more than an amiable oaf who has coasted through life trading on his last name.

If Republicans somehow manage to transform that into a punishable crime, then President Trump’s own should consider themselves also eligible for stays in less-resplendent government housing than they currently occupy.

The question here is not really about whether Donald Trump should be removed from office. The chances that 20 Republican senators will break ranks and vote to convict him are still somewhere between nil and non-existent.

But there are many Americans – including many Republicans – who are troubled by what the president did regarding Ukraine. They want answers and, in a self-governing society, they’re entitled to have them.

The members of Congress who prevent the public from getting those answers do their offices and their constituents a tremendous disservice. These elected officials are supposed to be the people’s representatives and servants, not the president’s lapdogs.

An aside: Given their slavish, full-throated and unquestioning defense of everything President Trump does, wouldn’t it be cheaper and more efficient for Hoosiers just to put a cardboard cut-out of the president at the desks of Sen. Mike Braun, R-Indiana, and Rep. Jim Banks, R-Indiana? We could let the president cast their votes for them and issue their press releases. That way, the taxpayers would save money on Braun’s and Banks’ salaries and office expenses by eliminating the middlemen.

This trial in the Senate will not result in Donald Trump leaving office.

But it can and should be a vehicle for Americans to find out exactly what this president is doing in their name and with the authority they grant him. It also will tell them if there are any lines or laws he is willing to respect.

That’s the knowledge – and the truth – President Trump fears.

As he should.

It’s not likely to flatter him.

But it just might set the country free.
