The Minnesota Supreme Court has suspended the law license of Twin Cities attorney Michael B. Padden and is considering whether to disbar him after a judge found that Padden mismanaged and misappropriated client funds, repeatedly failed to show up for court hearings, forged a client’s signature on a payment agreement and urged another client not to appear for a sentencing hearing.
