One of our list serve lawyers posted this link to your story. I too am disgusted that you have been treated in this fashion by the Indiana State Bar and it amazes me how they could have screwed up so badly and how you have been made to suffer because of it. I have read your story and hope that you continue your work in Michigan for the clients who still need you and obviously trust all you do. Thank you for maintaining your dignity despite these circumstances you have had to endure. It is hard enough to be a lawyer these days without the State Bar attacking you as well.

A lawyer’s strike! That could be almost as bad as a panhandler’s strike.

Perhaps Mr. Rocchio’s story will inspire more people to remember the importance of bowing promptly and deeply when their satraps demand it.

Mr. Rocchio, I’m sorry on behalf of lawyers everywhere that you have endured this injustice. The only thing I can do is what I’ve done: offer to help organize a lawyer’s strike, perhaps in Indiana, perhaps in Michigan. I don’t think the latter is as appropriate, but I would imagine you have a lot of colleagues there who are as incensed about this as you are, so it may be practically more feasible.

Other than that, I’m just mad about it, but that doesn’t do any good.
