MARTIN, RALPH D. BPR # 007086
July 05, 1989
Suspended for two (2) years by order entered July 5, 1989. He had previously been disbarred by
order entered October 6, 1988, but the Court allowed him to argue his appeal in January 1989.
On June 19, 1989, the Court abrogated the disbarment and suspended Martin for two (2) years
retroactive to October 6, 1988. Martin misappropriated funds from two clients by cashing
settlement checks and not giving the clients their share. He paid both clients with bad checks,
causing them to have to retain attorneys to collect the monies due them. Both clients were
eventually made financially whole.
