Atty. Heidi Hanni to face disciplinary hearing

YOUNGSTOWN — Atty. Heidi A. Hanni of Boardman will face a disciplinary hearing at 10 a.m. Aug. 24 at the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center in Columbus concerning a Mahoning County Bar Association complaint against her.

The bar association alleges Hanni failed to appear four times for scheduled office appointments in 2013-14 and twice for scheduled 2014 court hearings in a Columbiana County child-custody dispute, without providing good reasons for not showing up in court.

Hanni refunded $500 of the $2,968 paid to her by the couple, who had hired her to represent them, the complaint said.

The couple went on to represent themselves and won their case, the complaint added.
