Mishandling of Client Funds • Mitigation • Disbarment
Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Quigley, PICS Case No. 17-1052 (Pa. June 20, 2017) Mundy, J., Donohue, J. (dissenting) (19 pages).
Court agreed with board that petitioner had to be disbarred for mishandling the funds of five clients over a three-year period because the court was not persuaded by petitioner’s arguments for mitigation and, while petitioner cooperated with the disciplinary process, he did not make restitution to four of his clients until after the disciplinary process was instituted. Board recommendation adopted and petitioner was disbarred.
