Attorney Richard Schibell of Ocean, NJ; check bouncing loser

The state of New Jersey presented Richard D. Schibell with a law license in 1973 after he graduated from Seton Hall University Law School.

The State Bar found Dick guilty of the following misconduct.

• Made improper payments from client trust account
• Caused financials records to be doctored to hide payments he made on behalf of a former paramour (girlfriend)
• Wrote one or more checks on insufficient funds account (rubber)
• Ethics investigators discovered “significant discrepancies” between subpoenaed bank records and those that Dick provided to investigators
• Admitted to asking someone to alter trust account records to conceal a $20,000 payment to Bank of America that was made for an ex-lover
• Repeatedly lied to ethics investigators (Screw you, said Dick!)

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the State Bar Court punished Dick by gifting him with a complimentary censure.  

Because Attorney Misfits in Montana and New Jersey are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else, Dick was never prosecuted for writing bad checks.

As one would suspect, Dick’s self-serving website at www.schibelllaw.com. Makes no mention of Dick’s misconduct. Apparently, the firm decided to conceal this relevant information from prospective client for the purpose of not limiting its future victim pool.

As we speak (ca. March 2018), Dick practices with Schibell & Mennie LLC at
