Attorney Ronald Coulter of Durham, NC; ethical goblin

The state of North Carolina provided Ronald G. Coulter with a law license in 1980 after he graduated from the University of North Carolina Law School.

The Committee on Professional Conduct found Ronnie guilty of the following misconduct.

• Failed to ensure that law firm’s trust account was timely reconciled
• Made numerous inaccurate statements to the State Bar concerning reconciliations of the trust account based upon information submitted by the firm member
• Jerry’s firm did not have any quarterly reconciliations for the firm's trust account for the preceding year
• His firm had only three monthly reconciliations for the firm's trust account for the preceding year
• The firm had not identified the client for which cash deposits were made into the trust account
• Firm occasionally failed to indicate on trust account checks the  client from whose funds in the trust account the trust account check was drawn

As a direct consequence of his misconduct the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Committee on Professional Conduct punished Ronnie by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. July 2019) Ronnie practices at 3400 Croasdaile Drive in Durham, North Carolina.
