On Monday, February 10, 2025, the Supreme Court of Ohio announced the reinstatement of several attorneys who had previously been suspended for failing to meet registration requirements. The court cited compliance with the guidelines outlined in Gov.Bar R. VI(10) as a crucial factor in their reinstatement.
Among the attorneys reinstated is Sherri Renee Heyman, who had been suspended since November 1, 2013. William Terry Washington, suspended on December 2, 2005, and Thomas James Harris III, whose suspension began on November 1, 2023, were also granted reinstatement. Each attorney has fulfilled the necessary conditions outlined in Gov.Bar R. VI(2), which includes the payment of all applicable registration and reinstatement fees.
The reinstatement of these attorneys reflects the court’s commitment to ensuring that legal practitioners adhere to the required standards of registration. This action allows the reinstated individuals to resume their practice of law in Ohio, reinstating their ability to serve clients and contribute to the legal community.
