The Ohio Supreme Court has disbarred a
Hamilton attorney for misleading clients, misusing their settlement funds, and neglecting their cases. Dennis Adams has been ordered to pay more than $25,000 dollars in restitution to three clients who were harmed by his actions. Adams pleaded guilty to a charge of theft by deception, and was sentenced to five years of community control late last year in Butler County Common Pleas Court. Adams was a longtime public defender for the county until his legal issues arose.
