Local Attorney Resigns From BarLarry D. Beeson, a long-time Warsaw attorney who had practiced for almost 50 years, resigned from the Indiana bar in February after facing an investigation by the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission.
His office was at 211 W. Fort Wayne St.
In a Feb. 14 order, the Indiana Supreme Court accepted the resignation of Beeson, effective immediately. He tendered his resignation pursuant to Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23(17), which requires an acknowledgement of a pending investigation into allegations of misconduct against which Beeson could not have successfully defended himself. The order does not disclose the nature of the investigation.
In 2013, Beeson was publicly reprimanded for notarizing the signature on a guardianship consent form even though he did not witness the signing. Beeson violated Ind. Professional Conduct Rules 8.4(c) and 8.4 (d).
As a result of his resignation, the investigation into Beeson’s alleged misconduct will be dismissed.
Beeson, who was admitted to practice in 1970, will be ineligible to petition for reinstatement to the Indiana bar for five years, and if he petitions for reinstatement, his alleged misconduct may be addressed. However, his reinstatement is discretionary and will require evidence of his remorse, rehabilitation and fitness to practice law.
Beeson declined comment to the Times-Union for this story. The website for the law practice has been discontinued.
