Kenneth M. Essad, P 36638, Warren, Michigan, by the Attorney Discipline Board Tri-County Hearing Panel #108
Order Imposing No Discipline, Effective January 31, 2024
The hearing panel found that respondent committed misconduct while representing the plaintiff mother in proceedings to, in part, modify parenting time and child support, when he sent email messages directly to the defendant father, whom he knew to be represented by counsel, in violation of MRPC 4.2(a).
The panel majority concluded that the specific facts and circumstances presented in this case warranted the entry of an order which imposes no discipline. Actual costs were assessed in the amount of $1,681.50.
