Mass. Lawyer Is Suspended for 6 Months Due to Multiple Misrepresentations on Resume
Contrary to what his resumé said, Wade Jensen never earned an LLM degree in taxation from Boston University, although he was enrolled and attended classes there.
Nor did the 1997 Purdue University graduate earn a bachelor of science degree from Tufts University in 1997, let alone letter there in hockey and lacrosse or earn a place on the “dean’s honor list,” among other purported academic awards, according to a Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers summary of a Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts opinion.
In its written summary (PDF), the court also notes that he worked at a previous law firm job less than one year rather than two years, as he claimed.
Jensen’s resumé has now been corrected, and he will be suspended from practice for six months, beginning today.
