Complaint Filed Against Justice of the Peace Candidate
The Montana Office of Disciplinary Counsel has filed a complaint against Kalispell attorney William Managhan, a candidate for Flathead County Justice of the Peace, alleging he failed to effectively represent a client three years ago.
Managhan, who works as a public defender and is currently running against Kalispell attorney Paul Sullivan to be the next Justice Court judge, said that there is more to the story than has been alleged by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel and his former client, Jacob Vierzba. The complaint was filed on April 26.
The Montana Office of Disciplinary Counsel was established by the Montana Supreme Court to investigate and prosecute complaints against practicing attorneys. The agency files upwards of two-dozen complaints against attorneys annually but investigates many more.
