Mount Vernon attorney resigns due to escrow-related misconduct.

In Matter of Thomas, the Second Department accepted the resignation of an attorney due to two investigations by the Grievance Committee for the Ninth Judicial District. These investigations involved allegations of the willful misappropriation of client funds in the amount of $50,000 held on behalf of one client and $188,000 held on behalf of another client, as well as the making of cash withdrawals from his escrow account and the failure to maintain required bookkeeping records for this account.
