Engler receives a reprimand
2006-08-11
COLUMBUS ? Lawyers who have sex with clients face public reprimand, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in a case involving Atty. David Engler, a former Mahoning County commissioner. "We generally impose a public reprimand when a sexual relationship develops during an attorney-client relationship if the affair is legal and consensual and has not compromised client interests," the unanimous decision read. "Therefore, we find the recommended sanction appropriate. [Engler] is therefore publicly reprimanded." In 2004, Engler, of Boardman, began handling the divorce case of a 28-year-old client. According to court documents, Engler learned the woman was an artist and arranged to buy a couple of paintings by crediting $400 of the $1,000 in legal fees the client owed him for legal services.
