Practice Pointer: Replace Operating Account Checks In A Timely Manner

The Vermont Supreme Court has approved the imposition of an admonishment (which does not identify the attorney by name) of an attorney admitted to practice in 1968.

The offense?

Commingling.

The specifics?

The attorney transferred money to his escrow account to pay operating expenses.

The reason?

The attorney ran out of blank operating account checks.

The court noted that the attorney had no prior discipline and had self-reported the misconduct. (Mike Frisch)
