A Beaver County lawyer has been disbarred for neglecting a series of personal injury cases and failing to keep his clients appraised of developments in their lawsuits.

Attorney Nicholas Urick was disbarred on consent Wednesday, according to disciplinary records, which characterized the discipline as him agreeing to resign under the Pennsylvania Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement. Along with allegedly neglecting clients, Urick also failed to properly respond to state disciplinary authorities, according to the Disciplinary Board’s petition for discipline.
