Attorney Peter Morrissette of St. Johnsbury, VT; ethical misfit

The state of Vermont presented Peter J. Morrissette with a law license in 1968 after he graduated from Boston College Law School.

The Vermont Bar Court found Pete guilty of the following misconduct.

1. Engaged in a conflict of interest
2. Failed to provide required notice to client re: conflict of interest issues
3. Altered fully executed legal documents in quit-claim deed
4. Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
5. Failed to act with due diligence (slacker)
6. Clients (victims) suffered injuries as result of Pete’s misconduct
