Ohio State Bar Association Ethics Board Re: Complaint Against Attorney Carlo McGinnis Dear Ethics Board Members, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Attorney Carlo McGinnis, in connection with the legal representation he provided in our recent case. Regrettably, the experience we had with Mr. McGinnis was far from satisfactory, and we believe his lack of competence and professionalism had a detrimental impact on the outcome of our case. Upon seeking legal counsel for our case, we were informed by multiple attorneys that we had a strong position and a straightforward path to resolution. It was our belief that any competent attorney would be able to successfully navigate the legal process on our behalf. Unfortunately, we were unaware of Mr. McGinnis's academic background and the fact that he graduated from a law school with a less than stellar reputation. During the course of the trial, it became evident that Mr. McGinnis was ill-equipped to represent our interests effectively. He was consistently outmaneuvered by the opposing counsel, ultimately leaving our case in a precarious position. There were moments when Mr. McGinnis seemed visibly flustered in the courtroom, turning noticeably red when confronted with questions he appeared unable to answer. While we acknowledge that Mr. McGinnis may possess some level of legal acumen, particularly in areas such as drafting wills or contracts, we believe that his performance in our case demonstrated a lack of the requisite skill and expertise necessary for successful litigation. Given the gravity of the situation and the implications of Mr. McGinnis's actions on our case, we respectfully request that the Ethics Board of the Ohio State Bar Association conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. We believe it is vital to uphold the standards of the legal profession and protect clients from the potential consequences of inadequate legal representation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We are confident that the Ohio State Bar Association will take appropriate measures to address our concerns and ensure that the integrity of the legal profession is maintained.
