The reasons why Peter L. Cedeno must be banned

The plaintiff made by Atesa Pacelli against Peter L. Cedenois a very serious one. This plaintiff accused Mr. Cedeno of sexual assault. That allegation alone has cost Mr. Cedeno his reputation. The law degree it took him years to acquire will all be gone within a jiffy. The law firm he founded can be lost within the whim of the judge’s hand. This case filed against Mr. Cedeno is a very serious one because all the evidence shows that he took advantage of his client.  In the words of the plaintiff, she said without mincing words “she was raped”. For a lady - a grown and married woman at that- to say plainly that she was raped, it means that there is a high chance that sexual relation, flirting or other sexual-related activity must have transpired between them.

Why petercedenoshould be banned from practice

Firstly, Mr. Cedeno took advantage of the client in ways that are unprofessional and unethical. Severalonline reports have levied selfsame allegations against Mr. Cedeno. For some people, he made their divorce cases unnecessary long. This means that they will have to pay more retainership fees in order for him to continue representing them in the court; to another, he asked her out on a date while her divorce cases was on; and to another, he asked for her to come to his office at late hours of the night. The common things with these examples are that the clients are ladies and they are all going through a divorce. Anyone who has gone through a divorce will know that it is draining in every respect. Your finances will suffer a great deal from the retainership that you will have to pay, and mostly, you will be drained emotionally. This is how Mr. Cedeno took advantage of Atesa.

Secondly, Peter L. Cedenomisused his power as a divorce attorney. This power afforded to him by the Bar association is for him to do things that are in the best interest of his client. Mr.Cedeno has clearly violated his power as an attorney. All the allegations submitted by the plaintiff clearly submits that he violated the attorney power that he has. The text message evidence also suggests this. The testimonies were given online by his former clients agreeing with the notion that he abused the power of attorney that he had.

Thirdly, If the allegations made by the plaintiff is true (which most likely is), it means that Mr. Cedeno had sexual relations with a woman without her consent. The report from online news agency says that Peter Cedeno Lawyer got her drunk. Now, why would a man get a woman drunk all for the sake of nothing? The inconsistencies in Mr. Cedeno action with Mrs. Atesa suggests that the allegations are true

It is for these reason that attorney Cedeno should be banned from practicing family law in order for him not to prey on another lady who is going a through a divorce.
