The Oklahoma Supreme Court disbarred Oklahoma City attorney Michael (Mike) gAassaway today.
"The gravity of the offenses committed by Respondent (Gassaway), and clearly proven by the OBA (Oklahoma Bar Association), mandates our highest discipline," the court said.
The bar association alleged multiple counts of attorney misconduct, the court said.
Among the counts are forgery of another attorney's letterhead on a letter that he purported to sign on the other lawyer's behalf and seeking sexual favors for legal services.
"Unfortunately, Respondent (Gassaway) is no stranger to the disciplinary process and the gravity of his misconduct has been significant," the Supreme Court said.
In 1987, Gassaway twice was disciplined for misconduct.
He received a public censure for misconduct stemming from his criminal convictions in state and federal courts for willful failure to file income tax returns, the court said, adding that he served six months in federal prison.
