Solicitor Donald Brookes of Australia; cheating loser

The Victoria Law Society presented Donald Ernest Brookes with a law license in 1977.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal found Donnie guilty of the following misconduct.

• Engaged in unsatisfactory professional conduct
• Participated in acts designed to withhold payment of disbursement amounts
• Persistently acted in gross breach of professional duty
• Engaged in disgraceful and/or dishonorable conduct
• Failed to make prompt payment of third party fees incurred in ordinary course of advising clients
• Engaged in gravest kind of wrongful conduct
• Improperly retained unearned client funds for inordinate periods of time

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Solicitor Misfits sitting on the Administrative Council punished Donnie by gifting him with a complimentary 9-month suspension of his law license.

As we speak (ca. March 2017), Donnie practices in Victoria, Australia.
