VSB Clients' Protection Fund Board Pays $175K on 13 Petitions Involving 9 Attorneys
The largest single award was a payment of $65,192 to the beneficiary of an estate in which Richard Gibson Wohltman was a co-executor. The board found that Wohltman committed dishonest conduct in theft, conversion, embezzlement or withholding money from the estate, and that the attorney did not perform the work for which he billed services, according to the bar’s media release.
