On Friday, August 2, 2024, the Board of Professional Conduct of the Supreme Court of Ohio recommended a fully stayed one-year suspension for attorney Rebekah Jill Glover. Glover is facing disciplinary charges related to her representation of a nonprofit organization in 2022.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Rebekah Jill Glover,” with case no. 2024-007.
According to the filing, Glover was retained in September 2022 to serve as legal counsel for six months to Luke 3:11 Ministries and its owner, Amy Parker. Over the next few months, Parker paid Glover $2,500 in legal fees. However, Glover failed to diligently work on the ministry’s legal matters and neglected to respond to Parker’s repeated requests for updates.
In April 2023, Parker filed a grievance against Glover for her lack of communication and apparent inaction. Glover refunded $500 to Parker in February 2023. Glover made a false statement during the disciplinary investigation by claiming she notified Parker of terminating representation, which was disputed.
While the Board acknowledged Glover’s misconduct was serious, they noted she made full restitution to the client before the charges. Glover also cooperated with the disciplinary process and provided character references. Considering comparable prior cases and finding factors mitigating against an actual suspension, the Board recommended the fully stayed one-year suspension.
The recommendation states:
“Pursuant to Gov. Bar R. V, Section 12, the Board of Professional Conduct considered this matter on August 2, 2024. The Board voted to accept the agreement entered into by Relator and Respondent and recommends that Respondent, Rebekah Jill Glover, be suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for one year with the suspension stayed in its entirety on the condition that she refrains from further misconduct.”
According to avvo.com, Ms. Glover is an energy & utilities attorney in Greenville, Ohio. She acquired her law license in Ohio in 2012.
