Ohio Supreme Court suspends Youngstown lawyer

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Supreme Court today indefinitely suspended from law practice a Youngstown attorney with three prior disciplinary sanctions.

This was the fourth time since 1997 that Dennis A. DiMartino was sanctioned by the Supreme Court, which noted the present complaints about him are similar to the previous incidents that led to past suspensions, including neglecting client matters, failing to account for settlement funds, and dishonesty.

The Mahoning County Bar Association brought complaints by DiMartino clients to the court’s Board of Professional Conduct, which recommended the indefinite suspension.

In a unanimous decision, the Court found DiMartino violated several rules governing the conduct of attorneys while representing a woman in an auto accident personal-injury case.
