Money To Burn

The North Carolina State Bar has filed a complaint alleging ethics violations in a number of matters on the part of a Wilmington attorney.

Count One alleges that the attorney improperly used estate funds and failed to honor the lien of the Wilmington Funeral & Crematory.

Count Two alleges that he robbed Peter (a slip and fall client) to pay Paul (not the same as Paypal) for the misuse of funds set forth in Count One.

There are other allegations of trust account malfeasance including writing an escrow check to “cash” with the notation “Dad loan repay.” (Mike Frisch)
