Attorney James P. Davis of Buffalo, NY; crook

 
The state of New York provided James Preston Davis with a law license in 1985 after he graduated from SUNY at Albany.
 
The Grievance Committee of the 4th Judicial Department found Jimmy guilty of the following misconduct:
  1. Converted client funds to personal use (stealing)
  2. Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
  3. Commingled client funds with his personal funds
  4. Failed to promptly and fully cooperate with ethics investigators
  5. Failed to maintain proper records of client funds
  6. Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit and dishonesty
  7. Engaged in conduct adversely reflecting on his fitness as a lawyer
  8. Making withdrawals from a special account payable to cash and not a named payee
  9. Refused to make available to the disciplinary committee financial records he was required to maintain
Jimmy’s Hyperbolic (BS) Defense
 
In his defense and lame attempt at mitigation, Jimmy had the chutzpah to say that he had not intention to “permanently deprive a client of funds he took” from the client’s fund. He went on to say he took the clients “funds to pay for basic necessities at a time when he was experiencing financial difficulties.”
 
Jimmy missed his calling as a standup comedian. Doesn’t everyone who robs a bank or a 7-11 store do so because they are experiencing financial difficulties?
 
As a consequence of his misconduct, the shills for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Grievance Committee of the 4th Judicial Department punished Jimmy by gifting him with a complimentary 3-month suspension of his law license.
 
As we speak (ca. May 2012) James practices law at 181 Franklin Street in Buffalo.
