A tribunal says the 65yearold stole more than half of a trust under the guise of legal fees
A Tecumseh lawyer has been disbarred for stealing more than $350,000 from a trust meant to support a disabled person.
A Law Society of Ontario tribunal has concluded Robert Comartin acted dishonestly and shamelessly for the better part of a decade.
The tribunal says the 65-year-old stole more than half of the trust under the guise of “legal fees.''
The trust was set up by a person for their son, who has a mental disability and was unable to take care of his own financial affairs.
