Title: Attorney Grievance v. Stringer

State: maryland

Issuer: Maryland Supreme Court

Document:

O R D E R 
 
 
In its Petition for Disciplinary or Remedial Action, the Attorney Grievance 
Commission requested that the Court impose reciprocal discipline to that imposed by the 
State Bar of Arizona, specifically Rule 8.2(a) of the Arizona Rules of Professional 
Conduct. Pursuant to Rule 19-737(e), the Court required the Commission to serve the 
respondent with the petition and required the Commission and the respondent to show 
cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed. Both parties filed responses. In his 
response, Mr. Stringer argues that exceptional circumstances exist to not impose reciprocal 
discipline. The Court concludes that Mr. Stringer did not demonstrate by clear and 
convincing evidence that exceptional circumstances exist that warrant substantially 
different discipline.  
 
Accordingly, it is this 24th day of March 2023, by the Supreme Court of Maryland, 
 
ORDERED that David H. Stringer is reprimanded for violation of Rule 8.2(a) of the 
Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct.
