The New Jersey Supreme Court has imposed a three-month suspension on an assistant general counsel at LG Electronics USA over ethics violations arising from three cases he handled in his spare time.

John T. Wynn was suspended based on the Disciplinary Review Board’s findings that he charged excessive fees for work on an estate case and displayed neglect and lack of diligence for failing to complete his administration of the estate after nine years.
