The Uninsured
An attorney who had for years falsely represented that he had malpractice insurance consented to disbarment in North Carolina.
Between 2010 and 2014, McVey knowingly and intentionally falsified
documents purporting to show that he maintained liability coverage through Lawyers
Mutual, despite not having coverage for at least 15 years. McVey made these
misrepresentations and provided these falsified documents to at least one mortgage loanĀ lender between 2010 and 2014 for the purpose of qualifying with the lender as an
attorney approved to handle real estate closing transactions involving loans made by the
lender. But for his misrepresentations, McVey would not have qualified with the lender
to serve as a closing attorney and would not have been entitled to receive a fee in
transactions involving loans made by the lender.
