An Avon attorney was suspended for five years and ordered to pay restitution after a Hartford Superior Court judge ruled he took on three clients in separate foreclosure matters and never defended them in court.
In a six-page decision issued Dec. 28, Judge Antonio Robaina wrote that attorney Anthony V. Zeolla had a pattern of misconduct that factored into the discipline that was doled out. Zeolla was also reprimanded in 2014 for failing to communicate to a client the scope of his legal representation and the basis for attorney fees.
