Bosley —Ìýwho has been trying to get back his suspended law license —Ìýwas sued earlier this week for legal malpractice, the second time such a suit has been filed against him in less than three years.

In the suit filed Monday in ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Circuit Court, Eugene Willingham claims that Bosley failed to adequately represent him in an Illinois workers' compensation case.

Specifically, Willingham claims Bosley did not show up for a required court date and did not file the appropriate motions, causing the courts to dismiss Willingham's claim in December 2014. He seeks damages of at least $25,000.

Bosley could not be reached for comment. Willingham's attorney, Ben Sansone, declined to comment.

Recent legal entanglements involving Bosley include:

•Ìý TheÌýMissouri Department of Revenue filed tax liens against Bosley, claiming he owes $3,159 in individual income taxes, mostly from 2012 through 2014.

• The Missouri Supreme Court started disciplinary proceedings against Bosley. In February 2014, the court suspended Bosley's license indefinitely after he admitted that he combined personal funds with clients’ funds and used trust-account money to pay personal bills.

This past February, Bosley petitioned the high court to reinstate his law license. His petition still is pending.

• A legal malpractice suit filed by Dwayne Reid, a University City maintenance worker, alleged that Bosley and his firm, Bosley & Associates, missed the deadline for filing a Missouri workers’ compensation claim. The case was dismissed in November 2015 after defendants paid $10,000, court records indicate.

Bosley was elected mayor in 1993, then went into private law practice after he lost a 1997 re-election bid to former ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Police ChiefÌýClarence Harmon.Ìý
