A Virginia attorney was publicly reprimanded last week for lax oversight of a legal secretary who stole more than $42,000 from his firm while on probation for stealing from a judge. Virginia Bar investigators concluded that attorney John Edward Jessee didn't intentionally violate any rules, and that the misconduct occurred as Jessee's father, also an attorney, was turning over management of the firm to his son. The father, Charles Jessee Sr., hired Anna Howell as a legal secretary in 2007.
