In re Capriotti, Laurence Wayne, 06DC1007
Disposition Disbarment On Consent
Effective Date of Disposition 09/21/2006
End Date of Disposition No disposition end date scheduled at this time. Discipline continues until further order of the Court.
Definition of Disposition Disbarment on consent is imposed by the Supreme Court based upon the lawyer's filing of a motion to strike his or her name from the roll of attorneys in face of disciplinary charges that are set forth in the Administrator's Statement of Charges. The disbarred lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the disbarment on consent and may not return to the practice of law unless and until the lawyer has demonstrated his or her rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case, which may not be filed until three years after the effective date of the disbarment on consent.
Case Summary Mr. Capriotti, who was licensed in 1972, was disbarred on consent. He pled guilty to federal charges that he conspired with a co-defendant to convert, and did convert, over $70 million in escrow funds through a number of title insurance entities and companies owned primarily by Mr. Capriotti and the co-defendant. He was also charged with filing false income tax returns. He was sentenced to one hundred sixty-eight months imprisonment, followed by three years supervised release, ordered to make restitution in the amount of $58,000,000, jointly and severally with the co-defendant, ordered to forfeit that amount, and ordered to pay a fine of $400.
