RESIGNATIONS

On March 3, 2021, the Supreme Court of Texas accepted the resignation, in lieu of discipline, of Terry P. Gorman [#08218200], of Dallas.

At the time of Gorman’s resignation, the following disciplinary cases were pending against him.

In the first case, the complainant hired Gorman on June 3, 2019, to sue a former employer after receiving a right to sue letter dated May 16, 2019, from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC.

The deadline to file suit was August 14, 2019, 90 days from the date of the letter.

Gorman failed to timely file suit.

Additionally, the complainant attempted to contact Gorman numerous times but Gorman failed to respond until after the statute of limitation had run on the complainant’s claims.

Furthermore, Gorman did not inform the complainant that he failed to timely file suit or discuss any concerns he had about the complainant’s claims until September 18, 2020.

In the second case, the complainant initially hired the Law Office of Donald G. Henslee (“Henslee”) on August 4, 2017, to send a demand letter to the complainant’s son’s former school concerning special education services.

Gorman was “of counsel” to the Henslee firm and assigned to handle the complainant’s case.

Gorman recommended, and the complainant agreed, that the complainant should file suit without sending a demand letter.

After the complainant’s suit was filed, the opposing party answered and presented a counter-claim for defamation.

Gorman represented to the complainant that he would file an anti-SLAPP motion to dispose of the defamation claim but failed to do so.

Subsequently, the opposing party served Gorman with written discovery requests. Gorman timely answered the requests for admissions but failed to adequately respond to interrogatories or requests for production of documents.

The opposing party filed two motions to compel discovery and for sanctions.

After a hearing, the court sanctioned the complainant and ordered him to pay a total of $1,000.

Gorman failed to notify the complainant of the filed pleadings, the hearings, or the sanctions. Eventually, Gorman paid the $1,000.

In July 2018, Henslee resigned in lieu of discipline.

Neither Henslee nor Gorman notified the complainant that Henslee could no longer practice law.

In the third case, the complainant initially hired the Law Office of Donald G. Henslee (“Henslee”) in November 2017 to file a complaint with the Texas Education Agency, or TEA.

Gorman was “of counsel” to the Henslee firm and assigned to handle the complainant’s case.

In a telephone conversation on December 14, 2017, Gorman told the complainant that he would file complaints with TEA; Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC; Texas Workforce Commission; and Texas’ Civil Rights Office.

The complainant agreed with Gorman’s recommendations but Gorman did not file any of the complaints.

The complainant, without the assistance of counsel, filed a complaint with the EEOC and obtained a right to sue letter on December 21, 2018.

After the complainant provided Gorman with the right to sue letter, Gorman timely filed suit in federal court.

However, without consulting the complainant, Gorman filed a voluntary dismissal of the federal suit on June 14, 2019, and the case was dismissed without prejudice.

The same day Gorman refiled an almost identical federal lawsuit in the same court in hopes of getting it assigned to another judge.

The complainant terminated Gorman’s representation and proceeded pro se.

After a hearing, the court dismissed the second lawsuit because:

1) at the time the second lawsuit was filed some of the claims were time-barred;

and

2) those claims filed before the expiration of the statute of limitations were not supported by the facts pleaded.

Subsequently, Gorman represented to the complainant that he would appeal the dismissal.

However, Gorman failed to timely file the notice of appeal and did not timely order court transcripts.

Ultimately, the appeal was dismissed for failing to timely file the notice of appeal.

Gorman violated Rules 1.01(b)(1), 1.01(b)(2), 1.03(a), 1.03(b), 3.02, and 3.04(d).

On March 3, 2021, the Supreme Court of Texas accepted the resignation, in lieu of discipline, of Bryan Lee Simmons [#24033190], of Bloomburg.

At the time of Simmons’ resignation, there was one pending matter against him alleging professional misconduct.

On November 12, 2020, Simmons was convicted of violating 21 U.S.C. § 846 and 21 U.S.C. § 841(b(1)C)—conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance (methamphetamine).

Simmons was sentenced to 48 months’ incarceration and, upon release from imprisonment, Simmons was ordered to not serve as an attorney or engage in the practice of law in any capacity for a period of three years.

Simmons violated Rule 8.04(a)(2).

LIT QUESTIONS THE TIMING OF THIS LATEST OFFENCE

In the first disciplinary action, Nance was given a fully probated one year period sentence, ending 14 Nov. 2020. Interestingly, the second suspension is issued just months after the first suspension ended, thus avoiding potential disbarment for breaching her suspension.

The question is, when did Nair file the complaint. It’s conveniently not included in the public reports available online, what they refer to is the Feb 11, 2021 Disciplinary hearing, but that’s not the date of the complaint OR the period where Nance committed the violations during Nair’s representation, which should control if Nance was in violation during her first probation period.

TEXAS LAWYER JAMI NANCE WAS IN A JAM AFTER DIPPING INTO THE CLIENTS FUNDS AND WRITING HER CLIENT A “HOT CHECK” FOR $78K.

On February 25, 2021, Jami Kay Shrader Nance [#24069057], of Round Rock, accepted a two-year fully probated suspension effective April 1, 2021.

An investigatory panel of the District 10 Grievance Committee found that Nance failed to keep a client reasonably informed, failed to hold a client’s funds separate from her own property, and failed to respond to lawful demands for information from a disciplinary authority.

Nance violated Rules 1.03(a), 1.03(b), 1.14(a), and 8.01(b).
