GORDON, JAMES L. BPR # 004477
December 05, 1997 County:Shelby District:9
Public censure on December 5, 1997. The adverse party in a custody proceeding filed a
complaint on Gordon for notarizing the forged signature of his client to the Oath of a Petition to
Modify Child Custody. Either Gordon or another individual forged the signature and Gordon
filed the petition with the Court. The Board found that he took action on his client's behalf when
he should have known that the action would merely serve to harass another. Additionally,
Gordon concealed from the Court information that he was required to reveal, and knowingly
used false evidence.
