Attorney Clement A. Francis of Brooklyn, NY; flimflammer, ethical dwarf

 
The state of New York provided Clement A. Francis with a law license in 2000 after he graduated from Rutgers University Law School.
 
In late 2010, the Disciplinary Committee for the 1st Judicial Department in New York City found Clement guilty of the following misconduct.
  1. Used client funds for personal purposes (stealing)
  2. Commingled client funds with personal funds
  3. Failed to maintain ledger of deposits and disbursements of client funds
  4. Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on his ability to practice law
The comedians sitting on the Disciplinary Panel granted Clement mitigation by agreeing with him that he didn’t intentionally use client funds [steal] for his own personal use. How in the hell does someone accidentally help themselves to someone else’s money?
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Disciplinary Committee punished Clement by gifting him with a complimentary censure.
 
As we speak (ca. April 2012) Clement practices law at 822 Clarkson Avenue in Brooklyn.
