A 29-year veteran attorney resigned after being investigated by a grievance committee for misappropriating $160,344 of $2.23 million mistakenly deposited by an energy-company client into his escrow account.

Manhattan lawyer Adam A. Berman, who, according to a LinkedIn profile and his law firm’s website, has run Adam Berman & Associates since 1992, had his name stricken from the roll of attorneys pursuant to an Appellate Division, First Department decision that granted his motion to resign.
