It’s Dick. Again.
This is getting old. You have to wonder how in the living hell Harris County Department of Education Trustee, Eric Dick, is still an attorney. The Hawaiian Attorney General has filed charges against Eric Dick for Unauthorized Practice of Law after Dick solicited clients affected by the Maui fires. According to the charges:
ERIC DICK did intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly engage in or attempt to engage in or offer to engage in the practice of law, or did or attempted to do or offered to do any act constituting the practice of law, without a license or authorization so to do by an appropriate court, agency, or office or by a statute of the State of Hawaii or the United States, thereby committing the offense of Unauthorized Practice of Law in violation of Sections 605-14 and 605-17 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.
The AG has charged him with 4 misdemeanor counts. You can read the entire document here and the back story here.
Being charged for the Unauthorized Practice of Law is just another in a series of of bad news facing Dick including:
- Being charged with assault of a family member (his wife)
- Wife filed for divorce
- Being sued for filing lawsuits without the clients permission and accepting a payment
- Sanctioned by a judge in Harris County for $117,000
- Sanctioned by a judge in Galveston County for $137,000
- His Case was dismissed in San Antonio after claiming his client had died (he didn’t)
- A judge recently questioned the signature of a dead inspector on documents submitted to the court by Dick.
- Dick was fined $40,000 by the Texas Ethics Commission.
- A formal complaint was filed against him as a HCDE Trustee.
- In lieu of a sanction by the HCDE he donated $40,000 (not confirmed)
