J. Michael Farren

Summary: The former White House lawyer found guilty of attempted murder on his then-wife and currently serving a 15 year prison sentence has been disbarred.

J. Michael Farren, the former White House lawyer found guilty last year of attempted murder in the assault on his ex-wife, has been disbarred. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals found Farren guilty of crimes that involved “moral turpitudeâ€. Crimes of moral turpitude were defined by the court as being “baseness, vileness, or depravity†and thus require disbarment.

He was found guilty by a jury that deliberated for less than 90 minutes in a Connecticut state court.  He was found guilty if assault, attempted murder, and risk of injury to a child. He was sentenced to 15 years of jail and is in the process of appealing the conviction. He had not filed a response to a recommendation from the Board on Professional Responsibility for his disbarment last year.

Farren beat his wife-at-the-time, Mary Margaret Farren. Their daughters were seven and four months old at that time. He has been ordered by a judge to never contact his daughters. She was a former attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. She has been unable to work due to a brain injury she acquired from the beating.

Farren worked as a general counsel and corporate secretary for Xerox Corp before going to the White House in 2007 to serve under President George W Bush for two years.
