Disbarred by order entered May 8, 1989. In February 1988, he disappeared with his wife and
two children. He did not notify his clients or the attorneys with whom he shared an office about

knowledge or consent of a fourth client, forged that client's name to a settlement check in the
amount of $325,000, and misappropriated this money to his personal use. He did not make an
appearance nor did he file an answer to charges brought against him.
