The State Bar of California announced the disbarment of a Southern California attorney for misappropriating nearly half a million dollars in client funds, as well as the disbarments of four other Orange County lawyers Wednesday.

The bar charged David Nisson of Tustin, California, with misappropriating more than $496,000 in client funds from six different clients, according to a notice filed Oct. 6, 2021. The claims stem from four personal injury cases and a fraud case Nissan litigated between 2013 to 2021.
