Attorney William Webb of Raleigh, NC; ethical troll

 

The state of North Carolina presented William Devin Webb with a law license in 1989 after he graduated from North Carolina Central University School of Law.

 

The Grievance Committee of the North Carolina State Bar found Billy guilty of the following misconduct.

  • Failed to conduct monthly and quarterly reconciliations of his trust account
  • Failed to always identify the source of entrusted funds deposited into his trust account on the corresponding deposit slips
  • Failed to consistently deposit mixed client funds consisting of both entrusted client funds and attorney fees in his trust account
  • Failed to provide a copy of an amended directive to the bank
  • Failed to promptly remove earned fees or costs from his trust account
  • Failed to obtain front and back copies of check images drawn on his trust account
  • Failed to reconcile his trust account on a monthly and quarterly basis
  • Failed to conduct the requisite reconciliations of ills trust account in violation of the applicable rules
  • Failed to identify the client(s) on all deposit slips of entrusted funds into his trust account
  • Failed to ensure that all entrusted client funds were deposited into his trust account
  • Failed to properly safeguard entrusted client funds
  • Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
  • Failed to promptly deliver entrusted property as directed by his client
  • Failed to provide bank with a copy of the amended directive concerning his
  • trust account
  • Failed to maintain minimum records for trust accounts
  • Failed to obtain appropriate digital images of canceled checks drawn on the trust account
  • Commingled client funds with personal funds
  • Failed to maintain minimum records for trust accounts
  • Consistently failed maintain accurate client ledgers that identified and tracked, per client, the entrusted funds received and disbursed for each client
  • Failed to maintain ledgers containing a record of receipts and disbursements for each person for whom funds were received and showing the current balance of funds held in the trust account for each person
  • Failed failing to review his nonlawyer assistants' handling and record-keeping of entrusted funds
  • Failed to supervise his nonlawyer assistants to the extent necessary to ensure that their conduct was compatible with Billy’s
  • professional obligations

As a direct consequence of his misconduct the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Grievance Committee of the North Carolina State Bar punished Billy by gifting him with a complimentary stayed 2-year suspension of his law license.

 

In truth, the comedians sitting on the Grievance Committee of the North Carolina State Bar didn’t mete out any meaningful punishment to Billy.

 

As we speak (ca. September 2020), Billy practices at 16 West Martin Street in Raleigh, North Carolina.
