STARLING, MICHAEL EUGENE BPR # 002207
September 09, 1985
Disbarred by order entered September 9, 1985. He presented to his clients as valid a court order
purporting to be a final decree in their divorce case, when he knew such decree to be false. Both
the husband and wife, relying on his representations that they were divorced, remarried other
people. In another matter, he represented to another client that he had filed a bankruptcy petition
on that client's behalf, when he knew no petition had been filed. In a third case, He
misrepresented to a divorce case client that the judge had signed her divorce order and she was
divorced, when, in fact, no divorce had been granted. There were numerous instances of his
failure to adequately communicate with his clients and some instances of neglect.
