In re Hagerty, Michael J., 06CH0095
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 12/11/2007
End Date of Disposition 03/10/2008
Definition of Disposition Suspension for a specified period reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, which is a fixed period of time identified in the Supreme Court's order. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Hagerty, who was licensed in 1982, was suspended for ninety days. He breached a fiduciary duty to five taxpayers for whom he was acting as a qualified intermediary. His misconduct allowed another lawyer, without his knowledge, to misappropriate funds from accounts opened for the benefit of persons who engaged in like-kind transfers of commercial property. The suspension is effective on December 11, 2007.
