Attorney Discipline

Columbus Bar Association v. Stanlee Earl Culbreath, Case no. 2012-0999

Franklin County

The Board of Commissioners on Grievances & Discipline has recommended that Columbus attorney Stanlee E. Culbreath be disbarred based on a pattern of misconduct over a multi-year period during which the board found that Culbreath routinely commingled his own funds with funds he held in trust for clients, failed to maintain coherent records of settlements he received and disbursements he made to or on behalf of individual clients, and routinely made personal withdrawals and paid his own law practice, personal and family bills from funds on deposit in his client trust account.
