Ohio Supreme Court suspends Youngstown lawyer

COLUMBUS

A Youngstown attorney with four prior law license suspensions was indefinitely suspended today from practicing law by the Ohio Supreme Court.

In a 6-1 opinion, the Supreme Court indefinitely suspended Dennis A. DiMartino and ruled that he cannot petition for reinstatement for at least two years.

The sanction is the fifth against DiMartino, and the Mahoning County Bar Association charged him with violating rules governing the behavior of Ohio lawyers while the Supreme Court was still considering his fourth report of professional misconduct.

Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger dissented and voted to permanently disbar DiMartino.
