In re Philpot 

Jim Coben 

 

Attorney received a public reprimand for maintaining a website suggesting that clients should lie and create “throw away” demands to achieve successful results in mediation. NOTE: One judge dissented “believing that for advising the public to lie at mediation meetings, the respondent should be suspended from the practice of law without automatic reinstatement.”
