October 21, 2010 ARTHUR EGBERT FISHER [#91650], 56, of Ketchum, Idaho, was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on one year of probation and was ordered to take the MPRE within a year. The order took effect Oct. 21, 2010. Fisher successfully completed the Alternative Discipline Program (ADP) for attorneys with substance abuse or mental health issues. He stipulated that he had practiced law while suspended and committed acts of dishonesty by making misrepresentations.Fisher was suspended in 2003 for not paying bar dues and again in 2004 for non-compliance with MCLE requirements. He filed court papers while suspended and when the opposing counsel notified the court of Fisher’s status, he said it was the result of a misunderstanding between him and the bar’s MCLE office. “I would not have attempted this representation had I not considered the situation resolved,†he wrote in a letter to the court.About a week earlier, Fisher signed an MCLE compliance card certifying that he had completed his requirements. In fact, after the court incident, he sent a letter that included proof that he completed his requirement after he appeared in court. He stipulated that he made misrepresentations to both the court and the bar.In mitigation, Fisher had no prior discipline record, cooperated with the bar’s investigation, had physical, financial and family problems and he provided letters attesting to his good character. Among other problems, he was hit by a car, suffered a significant brain injury and spent several years on disability. |
