Attorney Evan Shingles of Philadelphia, PA; ethical troll

The state of Pennsylvania provided Evan Shingles with a law license in 2002 after he graduated from Loyola University School of Law.

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel found Evan guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Office personal and Evan’s father mismanaged client funds
• Evan’s father and office personnel  improperly deposited entrusted funds into the business operating account
• Failed to employ proper bookkeeping procedures
• Allowed for the mishandling of trust funds to occur for over a ear before detection
• Wrongfully deposited borrowed funds designated for construction and such other purposes into his IOLTA trust account and
• Wrongfully paid the office  suite rent by issuing a check from his IOLTA trust account
• Failed in his responsibility to oversee his accounts and review his records
• Failure to perform required bookkeeping and recordkeeping and misuse of bank accounts and client funds by his underlings
• Commingled client funds with personal funds
• Violated his fiduciary obligations he owed to his clients

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court punished Evan by gifting him with a complimentary 1-year term of probation.  

As we speak (ca. June 2021), Evan practices his so-called brand of law with Shingleslaw LLC at 834 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
