Windsor lawyer charged with fraud, forgery, breach of trust

A Windsor lawyer already under suspension by the Law Society of Upper Canada has been charged with fraud, forgery and breach of trust by Windsor police.

Scott M. Sullivan, 40, had another lawyer appear in court on his behalf Thursday when the charges against him were spoken to for the first time.

"He intends to vigorously defend the claims," said lawyer Dan Scott.

Sullivan has been suspended from practising law since early July. His licence was suspended while the law society investigates complaints about misappropriation of clients' trust funds. The suspension ends Jan. 15 when the law society could launch further disciplinary hearings and ultimately revoke Sullivan's licence permanently.

Complainants to the law society claim that as much as $500,000 may have been taken from clients' trust funds. Details of the criminal charges were not discussed in court.

Sullivan, a lawyer since 1996, concentrated on real estate law. He was an occasional contributor of a law column to The Star.
