Lawyer suspended in Beaverton office shooting
April 22 2021
Oregon Supreme Court chooses not to disbar Erik Graeff, but also imposes maximum penalty short of it.
A Vancouver, Washington, lawyer who fired shots into a Beaverton law office has been suspended for five years, the maximum that the Oregon Supreme Court can impose short of disbarment.
The court announced its decision in an unsigned opinion, as is the usual practice, released on Thursday, April 22. Justice Thomas Balmer did not take part.
The penalty against Erik Graeff, who was admitted to the Oregon State Bar in 2010, resulted from three incidents a few years ago, one of them criminal.
