Gone To Court

The North Carolina State Bar has filed a two-count complaint based on allegations made by two of the attorney’s former clients.

One count involves a client who had retained the attorney and expressed concern about the progress of the matter. In response, the attorney told them to pick up their file.

The complaint alleges that the attorney’s office was locked when they arrived.

He had taped the client file to his office door with a note reading “gone to court.” The file contained original will and vehicle title documents.

The count alleges violation of the duty of confidentiality and improper withdrawal. (Mike Frisch)
