SHERI A. DILLON
STATE BAR OF GEORGIA
COMPLAINT AGAINST AN ATTORNEY
Sheri A. Dillon (“Dillon”) is an attomey licensed to practice law in Georgia.
In representing her client, Donald J. Trump (“Trump”), Dillon violated Rule 8.4(a)(4) of
Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct that provides that a lawyer shall not “engage in
professional conduct involving dishonesty, frand, deceit or misrepresentation.”
As described in the attached letter written by Representative Elijah Cummings, Dillon
engaged in dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation, and assisted Trump in engaging
in such behavior, by repeatedly making false and misleading statements to the United
States Office of Government Bthies. Dillon and Trump repeatedly made false statements
about Trump's reimbursement of hush money paid out by Attomey Michael Cohen to
adult film star Stormy Daniels and about other payments to Michael Cohen.
Dillon violated Rule 3.4 (b)(2) by aiding, abetting, counseling and assisting Trump to
testify falsely. Rule 3.4 (b\(2) provides that a lawyer shall not “counsel or assist a witness
to testify falsely.”
Dillon violated Rule 3.3 by making false statements of material fact to the Office of
Government Ethics. Rule 3.3 provides in relevant part:
(@) A lawyer shall not knowingly:
(1) make a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal;(2) fail to disclose a material fact to a tribunal when disclosure is necessary to
avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act by the client;
(3) fail to disclose to the tribunal legal authority in the controlling jurisdiction
known to the lawyer to be directly adverse to the position of the client and not
disclosed by opposing counsel; or
(4) offer evidence that the lawyer knows to be false. If a lawyer has offered
‘material evidence and comes to know of its falsity, the lawyer shall take
reasonable remedial measures.
In making false statements to the Office of Government Ethics, concealing and covering
up the scheme involving Michael Cohen, Trump and Dillon, acting in concert, violated
and conspired to violate 18 U.S.C. § 1001.
18 U.S.C. § 1001 provides in relevant part:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the
jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of
the United States, knowingly and willfully—
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, o fraudulent statement or
representation; or
G) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any
‘materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined under
this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international
or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8
years, or both. Ifthe matter relates to an offense under chapter 109, 109B, 110,
or 117, or section 1591, then the term of imprisonment imposed under this section
shall be not more than 8 years.
Dillon violated the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct by interfering with the
investigation of the Office of Government Ethics and proper administration of justice by
the OGE.
