1934 - Alva Lawyers Face Disbarment

Here is an interesting article that appeared in The Oklahoman dated February 24, 1932, on the front page, with headlines that read: Alva Lawyers To Face Disbarment."

Disbarment of Robert L. Hadwiger and suspension of Gus Hadwiger, his father, in an Alva law firm, was recommended to the state supreme court Tuesday by the sate board of bar governors.

The voluminous report cited Gus Hadwiger for alleged misconduct. His son was alleged to be wholly lacking in understanding of rules of professional conduct.

Charges were filed against the attorneys before the bar, the petition showed, involved allegations of fraud upon clients and upon the county and court.

I do not believe anything ever came of supreme court disbarment case, but it does sound familar concerning Hadwiger attorney stories that I have read or heard about. Does it ring any bells with you?
