Solicitor Michael McDarby of Ballinrobe, Ireland; ethical elf

The Irish Solicitors’ Discipline Tribunal found Mike guilty of the following misconduct.

• Intentionally misled Law Society in attempt to cover up a scam with lies
• Devised sophisticated scheme of opening special bank accounts in clients’ names that remained under Mike’s control
• Ethics investigator expressed disbelief at Mike’s defense
• Ethics investigators said Mike attempted to “pull the wool over the eyes of the Law Society” by providing supporting affidavits from client that were questionable as to their authenticity

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Solicitor Misfits sitting on the Discipline Tribunal punished Mike by gifting him with a complimentary censure a fine of 25,000 Euros ($27,443 US Dollars).

As we speak (ca. July 2015), Mike practices at Glebe Street, Ballinrobe, County Mayo, Ireland.
