Attorney Richard Dalton of Marston Hills, MA; ethical elf
The Massachusetts Supreme Court presented Richard A. Dalton with a law license in 1978.
The Board of Bar Overseers found Richard guilty of the following misconduct.
In one matter, Richard represented a client in conncection with her post-divorce matter in the Barnstable Probate and Family Court. Subsequently, Richard agreed to act as escrow agent when the client and her ex-husband sold a property they owned in Maine. Shortly after the sale, Richard deposited $171,982 from the sale into his escrow account. After making authorized disbursements of said funds, Richard was left with $4,680 from the real estate proceeds, which he then misused to pay personal or business expenses.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Disciplinary Commission punished Richard by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
As we speak (ca. March 2013) Richard practices in the Marston Hills, Massachusetts area.
