Attorney Larry Byrd of Lufkin, TX; ethical gremlin

The state of Texas presented Larry G. Byrd with a law license in 1967 after he graduated from the University of Texas Law School.

The District 2 Grievance Committee found Larry guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to keep client informed of status of legal matter
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Employed non-lawyers to engage in unethical conduct
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, dishonesty, deceit or misrepresentation

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Texas Supreme Court punished Larry by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 12-month suspension of his law license.

In truth, the comedians sitting on the Grievance Committee didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Larry.
