Attorney Suspended For Mishandling Client Funds
KENTUCKY...
A one-time attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union in Kentucky has been suspended from legal practice while the Kentucky Bar Association investigates his handling of client funds.
The Kentucky Supreme Court handed down the suspension Thursday of David Alan Friedman of Louisville, saying his handling of client funds in a civil case warrant a suspension while the investigation is completed.
Friedman's suspension doesn't stem from any work he did for the ACLU, which included cases involving the posting of the Ten Commandments in courthouses. Instead, the high court said, Friedman was suspended for withholding a $115,000 judgment from two clients and using the money for personal expenses.
