Berhan Dargie

DCCA Opinion (November 9, 2017)

Summary: The D.C. Court of Appeals accepted Dargie’s petition for negotiated discipline and suspended him for 60 days for violations of Rules 4.1(a) and 8.4(c). The violations stem from Dargie’s professional misconduct, wherein he knowingly made a false statement to a third party about the amount of a settlement agreement, and the statement prompted the third party to take a lesser fee for services it provided to his client.
