PLEA Attorney Reprimanded by BAR for Unethical Conduct



The State Bar of Arizona completed its yearlong investigation of PLEA
attorney, Mike Napier, and found that Mr. Napier acted unethically.  The Bar
reprimanded Mr. Napier for taking on PPSLA as a client when there was a
substantial risk that conflicts would arise between it and PLEA which would
materially limit his representation of PPSLA.  The Bar also found that Mr.
Napier took on a new client whose interests were adverse to an existing
client without honoring the requirements of the ethical rules.  Mr. Napier
had argued that it was PPSLA's duty to recognize and avoid his own
conflicts.  The Bar disagreed.  The Bar's finding will become part of Mr.
Napier's permanent record.
