Ficker was recommended for disbarment following his handling of a 2018 District Court case in which he represented a man accused of driving without a license. He was accused of “a slate of violations of the Maryland Attorneys’ Rules of Professional Conduct.”

Ficker was found to have failed to appear for a trial, “assured the trial judge that his office had contacted his absent client about the trial date without a basis to believe that assurance to be true,” and made “contradictory statements as to whether he had personally signed a continuance motion that contained misstatements and that in fact had been signed and filed by his office assistant (a disbarred former attorney).”

“The Court’s prior deliberations resulted in private reprimands, public reprimands, and indefinite suspensions of Mr. Ficker from the practice of law.”

Ficker said disbarment does not necessarily mean the end of his legal career, because he could apply for reinstatement. Ficker was previously suspended from the practice of law in 1998 and 2007, on charges similar to those in this week’s opinion. He managed to get his license reinstated following the prior two episodes.

Asked if he intended to do so now, Ficker said he wasn’t sure. “We’ll see,” he said. “I’m pretty busy.”

Our Democracy barely survived Trump’s presidency. His plan [The 2025 Project] is the playbook for turning the USA into a totalitarian nation!

However, Robin Ficker endorses Trump.

Today, I announce my support and endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President in 2024. I invite all other Maryland Republican candidates and elected officials to join me in supporting the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, as the Republican nominee for President in 2024.

It’s time for us to coalesce behind the only Presidential Candidate capable of restoring logic to our government. President Trump is the only candidate with a proven track record of historically low unemployment, safer communities, and lower energy prices. Together, President Trump and I will secure our Southern border. Together, President Trump and I will stop the flow of fentanyl across our border and onto our streets. President Trump and I will take swift and decisive action to protect our communities and secure our border.

President Trump and I will bring the country into a new, prosperous economic age and help the United States become energy independent again, pursuing an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach to our energy sector. President Biden has failed in every one of these categories. The choice is clear. Reject Biden’s policies in the ballot box this November and vote for Donald J. Trump!
