The state of Washington provided Richard Llewelyn Jones with a law license in 1982 after he graduated from the University of Puget Sound Law School.

The Washington State Bar found Dick guilty of the following misconduct.

Dick’s 1^st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree

• Failed to maintain adequate records re: his possession of client funds
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Allowed Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (IOLTA) to become overdrawn
• Wells Fargo check register missing various transactions
• Unable to produce client ledgers
• Wrote check on insufficient bank account (rubber)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Washington Supreme Court punished Dick by gifting him with a complimentary censure.

Because Attorney Misfits in Washington are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else, Dick was never prosecuted for writing bad checks.

• Appellate court sanction Dick for filing frivolous appeal
• Knowingly obstructed another party’s access to evidence
