Text: Respondent received $15,000.00 on behalf of client Lynn Kelly. These monies were deposited into the trust account of respondent's law firm on June 13, 1985. On or about the same day respondent disbursed, by check on the trust account, the sum of $5,000.00 to Lynn Kelly and $5,000.00 to his law firm. About one week later respondent disbursed $1,208.00 to himself. The next week respondent disbursed $500.00 to his law firm's attorney account. Respondent did not prepare a settlement statement, nor was there any authorization for the last two disbursements. Subsequent to the investigation into this matter, respondent's law firm paid the sum of $4,042.00 to Lynn Kelly as the balance due on this receipt by respondent. Respondent later fully reimbursed his law firm.
