N.Y. Lawyer Gives Up License Over Commingled Client Funds

Bloomberg Law reports that a New York lawyer who commingled his own funds with client funds in his personal bank account will no longer be practicing law.

Reporter Bernie Pazanowski writes that John Shasanmi used his personal account for client funds, rather than opening an attorney trust account or maintain bookkeeping record.

Shasanmi was investigated for professional misconduct and charged with two counts of larceny involving over $600,000 in client funds he allegedly used for personal purposes.
