Attorney Garey Ballance of Knightdale, NC; convict

 
The state of North Carolina presented Garey M. Ballance with a law license in 1995 after he graduated from the University of North Carolina Law School.
 
The Grievance Committee of the North Carolina State Bar found Garey guilty of the following misconduct.
 
Garey’s father, former Congressman Frank Ballance, ran a scam organization meant to benefit young African- American’s.
 
While operating the scam, Frank presented Garey with 2 checks for $10,000 each under the guise that it was compensation for work he performed for the organization. Geary used the $20,000 as a down payment on a new Lincoln Navigator.
 
Shortly after purchasing the Navigator, Garey was able to weasel his way into obtaining a seat as a district court judge in Warren, Franklin, Vance and Granville counties.
 
Subsequently, Garey was guilty of income tax evasion and served time in a federal prison. Geary’s father Frank also pleaded guilty to diverting tax money from the organization to his law firm and personal funds.
 
Geary was later disbarred and removed from the bench by the North Carolina Supreme Court.
 
Unbelievably, the Patron Saints for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Grievance Committee of the North Carolina State Bar voted to reinstate Garey’s law license in late 2011.
 
It must be comforting to the folks in the greater Raleigh area to know that there is yet another convicted criminal practicing law in their area compliments of the comedians sitting on the Grievance Committee of the North Carolina State Bar.
 
As we speak (ca. January 2014) Garey practices at 1003 River Grove Lane in Knightdale, North Carolina, which is a suburb of Raleigh.
