Lawyer reprimanded after mistakenly emailing opposing counsel with plan to avoid judge's call
Briefly

The Board of Bar Overseers of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court reprimanded lawyer Michael B. Cosentino for sending a misleading email to the bankruptcy attorney by advising 'Don't pick up' as the judge tried to call them.
Cosentino's conduct was deemed disruptive to the tribunal for trying to avoid addressing claims against his client by misleading the judge's call, leading to his reprimand.
Despite believing he acted in his client's best interest, Cosentino acknowledged his mistake and expressed a desire to move forward after the reprimand for his misleading actions.
