I looked up Sutton on the state bar, nothing there of interest.
But on the attorney who apparently never learned the term "conflict of interest" I found something MOST interesting. I will post:
Well.... it apears not to have copied properly. But he has an orange circle next to his name, that means "Not eligible to practice in Texas".
This was the only attorney in the state of Tx with that name...Hmmm...
This could mean anything from suspension for non payment of bar dues, or for unethical behavior, or outright disbarment. Certainly bears more research, but my lunch break is over and I have to get back to my law practice. But will follow up on this.

Anyone else with more time can as well, just google TX State Bar and you will see a place on the left where you can just enter the name olf the attorney you are trying to find and you will get all the relevent info. Date licenced, law school, etc.

Well this gets stranger yet. I called the number listed for this attorney and it is not the one in the article, that hehas " never handled a case in court with Johnny Sutton". He told me he retired 15 years ago. And that I "should call Johnny" to see who this other Eddie is....I am afraid if I "called Johnny" I'd be arrested for telephone harrassment or an obscene phone call.
