Theft occurs in a number of ways.
Most common manner of theft is when a lawyer collects funds from his client- or on behalf of his client which are to be held in a trust account to be disbursed to a third party for a specific purpose or to be disbursed to the client. A civil and criminal action is encouraged. Victims in this category are most common. A lawyer can be guilty of the sin of omission or commission and in either case create malpractice action for his client. Most malpractice transgressions occur through slothfulness of the lawyer in one form or the other.
