CUNNINGHAM, RONALD E. BPR # 000901
August 17, 1987 County:Knox District:2
Public censure on August 17, 1987. He failed to report the misconduct of an associate in his
firm who had converted to his personal use $5,500 from a settlement check held in trust. The
next year after Cunningham learned of the circumstances and received the associate's confession
of the misappropriation, he immediately compensated the client in the amount of $11,087, the
full amount of the claim, and terminated the firm's relationship with the associate. The Board
did not learn of the conversion of funds until almost 2 more years had passed.
