The Connecticut Appellate Court Friday sided with a Superior Court judge and let stand a one-year suspension from the Connecticut bar of a Wallingford civil rights attorney accused of using money in his Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts, or IOLTA, for personal use.

The three-judge panel wrote: “The record in this matter reflects that the respondent’s mishandling of his IOLTA account has been egregious. There was clear commingling, and the reviewing committee notes that the respondent previously agreed not to use his IOLTA account to pay personal or business-related expenses in a 2008 grievance complaint.”
