New Jersey. Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
On this date, in the Garden State, the Supreme Court of New Jersey suspended Larry J. Mc Clure for grossly neglecting a client custody case after receiving a substantial retainer to represent the client, and improperly obtaining the client’s signature on a blank certification form, failing to communicate with his clients, and failing to give the clients a written retainer agreement as required by Court Rules.
Mr. Mc Clure’s license to practice law was suspended on May 21, 2003 for a period of 6 months.
Rustine Tilton, Esquirette appeared before the Discipline Review Board for District IIB.
Larry failed to appear.
Mc Clure is a repeat offender of the Rules of ‘Professional’ Conduct. He was admonished in 1999; suspended for six months May 21, 2003. Heretofore, his aggregate unethical conduct has not yet risen to the level deemed meritorious of disbarment by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
Were any of Mr. Mc Clure’s clients injured as a consequence of his actions? If so, are those who were injured satisfied with the discipline imposed in this case? Has restitution been made?
Have there been any other instances of misconduct by Mr. Mc Clure that haven’t been addressed by Office of Attorney Ethics?
