Attorney Jovan Lacet of Milton, MA; ethical elf

 
The state of Massachusetts presented Jovan J. Lacet with a law license in 1997.
 
The Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers found Jovan guilty of the following misconduct.
 
The owners of a single family home occupied by tenants entered into an agreement to sell the property. It was later agreed that after the sale concluded the tenants would vacate the premises within 30 days of the closing.
 
Jovan was counsel for the lender and conducted the closing. Before the closing commenced, the buyers fired their first attorney and then hired Jovan to represent them. Therefore, Jovan was representing both the lender and the buyer at the same time.
 
After the closing concluded, Jovan disbursed the loan proceeds. However, he withheld $10,000 from the proceeds owed to the sellers and placed the amount in an escrow account to cover use and occupancy by the tenants in the event they didn’t vacate within 30 days.
 After the tenants vacated the residence it was discovered that they caused substantial damage to the property. Shortly thereafter, and without any authority to so act, Jovan disbursed the $10,000 that was lawfully due to the sellers to the buyers who were his clients.
 
As a consequence his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Board of Bar Overseers punished Jovan by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
 
As we speak (ca. October 2012) Jovan practices with the Law Offices of Jovan J. Lacet at 76 Blue Hills Parkway in Milton, Pennsylvania, which is about 60 miles west of Wilkes-Barre.
