Lawyer facing two other misconduct complaints
BILLINGS — A Billings lawyer who will be publicly censured by the Montana Supreme Court faces two additional misconduct complaints. The state Commission on Practice heard evidence Thursday on complaints against Solomon Neuhardt over his handling of a criminal case and two personal injury cases. Neuhardt represented himself but didn’t make a closing statement. He declined to comment on the hearing. State officials who investigated the complaints recommended a one-year suspension in the criminal case and disbarment in the others. The Commission on Practice will submit a recommendation to the Supreme Court, which will decide whether and how to act. Neuhardt faces a public censure April 29 for representing a married couple charged in a drug case. The Supreme Court said that was a conflict of interest.
