On Monday, November 4, 2024, the Supreme Court of Ohio announced several administrative actions regarding attorney registrations and continuing legal education compliance.
Among the notable decisions, attorney Tracy Baffour Agyemang from Hamilton County has been reinstated to practice law after a suspension due to failure to meet registration requirements. Agyemang was suspended on November 1, 2023, but successfully applied for reinstatement on October 24, 2024, fulfilling all necessary conditions and paying the required fees.
Additionally, Bruce Jonathan Walis from Cuyahoga County had his suspension vacated after demonstrating valid reasons for overturning the suspension order, which had also been issued for non-compliance with registration requirements. His suspension, initially effective from November 1, 2023, was lifted on October 15, 2024.
The court also addressed issues related to continuing legal education. Attorney Michael Joseph Goebl from Summit County faced suspension for failing to comply with ongoing educational requirements. However, he has since met the necessary criteria for reinstatement and was officially reinstated to practice on October 25, 2024.
These actions reflect the court’s commitment to upholding professional standards and ensuring that attorneys maintain compliance with registration and educational mandates. The Supreme Court of Ohio emphasizes the importance of these requirements in maintaining the integrity of the legal profession.
