Pirates Of The Blue Ridge

An attorney who had concealed assets and provided false information in her bankruptcy proceeding has consented to license revocation in Virginia.

The Roanoke attorney admitted that she had concealed her membership in the Hunting Hills Country Club and ownership of a jeep.

Further, the attorney admitted to providing false information concerning the source of funds used to purchase several show horses.

While under oath, Respondent testified that the source of the $18,000.00 used to make purchases of horses for her daughter Jordyn was her grandmother, Aldene Reed.

During [trustee] Mr. Shorter’s 2004 examination, Respondent produced a notarized affidavit from her aunt, Robin Reed Poff, to corroborate her version of the source of the funds used to purchases horses (“Poff Affidavit’).

On August 2,2016, Mr. Shorter conducted a 2004 examination of Ms. Aldene Reed.

Ms. Reed testified under oath that she did not provide the funds as Respondent had previously testified to under oath and pursuant to the Poff Affidavit.

Respondent had already previously testified under oath that she drafted the Poff Affidavit and had Ms. Poff sign it.

Ms. Poff took the Fifth in the bankruptcy case and did not cooperate in the bar investigation. 

The horses named in the bankruptcy pleadings are Jack Sparrow, Meadowbrook Newsflash, Covenant Haliegh, Sterling Silver, Foxlore Blue Point and Contagion.  (Mike Frisch)
