Attorney Ross McLeod of Ontario, CAN; dimwitted loser

The Law Society of Upper Canada presentedRoss Morley McLeodwith a law license in after he graduated form the University of Ottawa School of Law.

The Hearing Committee for the Law Society of Ontario found Ross guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Participated in or knowingly assisted in dishonest or fraudulent conduct by his lender clientin connection with the transfer of the properties to a non-arm’s length party under a power of sale by or on behalf of that lender client
• Failed to be on guard against being duped by unscrupulous clients or associated persons
• Knowingly assisted in dishonest or fraudulent conduct by his lender client under false pretenses, through the non-disclosure of material information to the first mortgagee regarding the transfer of that property under a power of sale to a third party
• Acted against a former client in a matter without obtaining the client’s prior informed written consent
• Represented his lender client against his former borrower client during enforcement proceedings commenced by the first mortgagee, which was also a former client
• In a conflict of interest, contrary to Rules of Professional Conduct acted for both the borrower and lender on a loan transaction involving a private lender and a loan of more than $50,000

All that remains now is to see what if any punishment is meted out to Ross by the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Hearing Committee.

As we speak (ca. August 2022), Ross practices his so-called brand of law at 69 John Street South in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
