Ohio’s Board of Professional Conduct recommended disciplinary action against five Franklin County attorneys for alleged or established misconduct. It recommended indefinitely suspending former public defender Stephen Chinn, who is serving an eight-year federal prison sentence for child pornography offenses, and suspending Adam Johnson for two years, with 18 months stayed, for overstating hours on court-appointed cases. The board also recommended a six-month stayed suspension for Stacey Beck and a two-year fully stayed suspension for Michael DeWitt, citing dishonesty and mishandling of client matters and funds. It recommended denying Richard Chambers’ petition for reinstatement after he continued practicing while suspended.
