How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that suspension, at the least, is appropriate when a lawyer should know that the lawyer is dealing improperly with client property
- finding suspension of one year and one day warranted where attorney commingled and technically converted client funds and his conduct was aggravated by his deceit and misrepresentation, as well as by his prolonged neglect of a legal matter entrusted to him
- lawyer’s commingling and technical conversion of client’s funds warrants one year and one day suspension
- suspension rather than disbarment because of “some lingering doubt about whether the respondent engaged in a knowing conversion of his client’s funds”
- “Indeed, if there were not some lingering doubt about whether the respondent engaged in knowing conversion of his client’s funds, we would have no hesitation in entering an order of disbarment.”
