Luis Salgado

DCCA Order (December 20, 2018)

Summary: In a reciprocal matter from Maryland, the D.C. Court of Appeals imposed functionally equivalent reciprocal discipline and indefinitely suspended Salgado with fitness, and the right to seek reinstatement after five years or when reinstated in Maryland, whichever occurs first. In Maryland, Salgado admitted violations relating to the unauthorized practice of law, neglect of a client matter, allowing his paralegal to sign his name to an obviously deficient pleading, filing an asylum application with the wrong body, failing to deposit a client’s fee in trust, failing to keep records of entrusted funds, and willfully failing to file federal tax returns since 2014.
