Attorney Michael Vingelli of Tucson; unethical loser
The state of Arizona provided Michael J. Vingelli with a law license in 1971 after he graduated from Washburn University Law School.
The Arizona State Bar found Michael guilty of the following misconduct.
In one matter, Michael represented a client, who at the time was a minor, in a personal injury matter. After the matter was settled, Michael agreed to contest the claim by the parents’ insurer for reimbursement. Michael then notified the insurer that the client was contesting the claim and that the disputed funds would be held in his client trust account until the matter was resolved.
The dispute went on for three years. The disputed funds did not always remain in the client’s trust account and the balance dropped below the disputed amount on several occasions. It wasn’t until five (5) years after Michael received the settlement funds that he finally filed the necessary papers with the trial court.
As one would suspect this wasn’t Michael’s 1st bite at the Attorney Misfit Apple Tree. He previously received a complimentary admonishment for engaging in a variety of misconduct.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Arizona Supreme Court punished Michael by gifting him with a complimentary censure.
As we speak (ca. January 2013) Michael practices with Vingelli & Errico at 33 North Stone in Tucson, Arizona.
