Former Sandusky Attorney Disbarred

The web page of the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board reports that former Jerry Sandusky attorney Karl Rominger’s consent to disbarment was accepted last Friday by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

As News 8 reported over the weekend, Karl Rominger is under investigation for mishandling client money. It’s still unknown how much money or how many clients this may involve. This week, Rominger voluntarily took steps to surrender his law license. 

The bar association says there’s a fund already in place to compensate clients in this or similar cases. The fund is supported by every Pennsylvania attorney’s yearly dues.

Clients who attorneys stole from them can makeup their losses but only if they file a claim.

The bar association is also offering to help Rominger’s clients find new attorneys and to let them know how to get their personal files back from Rominger’s offices.

Over the weekend Rominger released an audio statement online, acknowledging the investigation against him, saying in part: “I will work hard to right the people I have wronged.”

Until the state Supreme Court approves his law license forefeiture, Rominger is allowed to work, but his Carlisle offices were closed Thursday afternoon.
