Elena M Tilly

DCCA Order (September 7, 2017)

Summary: In a reciprocal matter from Maryland, the D.C. Court of Appeals imposed functionally equivalent reciprocal discipline and indefinitely suspended Tilly with fitness and the right to petition for reinstatement after five years or when reinstated in Maryland, whichever occurs first. In Maryland, Tilly acknowledged that sufficient evidence could be produced to sustain allegations of unauthorized practice of law, failing to supervise a nonlawyer assistant, continuing to employ the assistant after learning that he had fraudulently filed documents using her signature stamp, failing to hold client funds in trust, lack of candor to a tribunal, incompetence, and repeated dishonesty.
