BROOKS, NATHAN E. BPR # 011803
June 05, 1989 County:Hamilton District:3
Public censure on June 5, 1989. He was hired to represent a client in an insurance action. The
client had two sets of insurance claims but did not know which claim was valid. Brooks filed
only one claim, which was denied, and failed to file the other claim. The client became
dissatisfied with Brooks and hired new counsel, who immediately filed the second claim. A
check was issued on the claim, mailed to Brooks along with a release which requested the client
to sign and acknowledge receipt of the check. When the agent did not receive the release, he
made several calls to Brooks which were not returned. After the insurance representative
became aware of new counsel, they both tried to contact Brooks. He subsequently filed suit
against the client. The insurance representative phoned him asking him to forward the monies to
the client. He threatened to sue anyone if they filed a complaint with the Board. All monies
were delivered to the client.
