Jonathan Preston Fisher, a Blacksburg attorney whose failures to appear for court drew attention from judges across the New River and Roanoke valleys and beyond, on Friday had his law license temporarily suspended by the Virginia State Bar.
Fisher, 44, was cited by the bar for a series of problems with 10 clients he represented, including missing hearings and not properly handling clientsâ money. Bar investigators found that some of his clients were convicted after Fisher did not show up to defend them and that he had not properly held money in a trust account until he completed work for a client as attorneys are required to do.
