Jehan Carter

DCCA Opinion (April 3, 2025)

Summary: In re Jehan A. Carter. Bar No. 1018067. April 3, 2025. The D.C. Court of Appeals suspended Carter for 60 days. Carter filed a small claims complaint against a former client in which she asserted that the client’s bar complaint against her had been “dismissed because it was unsubstantiated.” In fact, the bar complaint led to a disciplinary action against Carter, which was still pending at the time of her small-claims complaint. The court found that Carter violated Rule 3.3(a)(1) by making a knowingly false statement to a tribunal and Rule 8.4(c) by engaging in conduct involving dishonesty.
