So Sad To Watch Good Love Go Bad

An attorney convicted of felony theft in Wisconsin was disbarred by the New York Appellate Division for the First Judicial Department.

The facts:

The separate charges arose out of respondent’s use of personal information of his former fiancée, without her consent, to forge two checks from her business account made payable to himself in the amounts of $950 and $400, and to create a computer generated check in the amount of $1,750 from the same account, which he unsuccessfully attempted to cash.

Automatic disbarment was imposed because the conduct amounted to a felony under New York law. (Mike Frisch)
