Earlier this summer, Torrington attorney Ira Mayo made headlines when he was hit with an unusual punishment: he could never again represent female clients.
At the same time, Mayo also received a four-month license suspension, scheduled to start Oct. 1, for violating a 2010 judge’s order to not represent women in domestic violence and family law cases. Some women’s groups thought the punishment should have been more severe, given the long history of complaints involving Mayo’s conduct with female clients.
