Spokane Lawyer Disbarred For Allegedly Looting Trust Accounts Belonging To Kids, Nieces, Nephews; Claims Cash Used In Failed Realty Investments

In Washington State, the Spokesman Review reports:
  • A Spokane businessman, attorney and West Valley School Board member has been disbarred for emptying the trust accounts set up by his grandfather for the education of his nieces, nephews and his own three children. Robert N. Dompier, 53, took over $47,000 from the accounts in what investigators believe was an effort to rescue his failing real estate investments. Dompier agreed to waive a Washington State Bar Association hearing – where he could have presented evidence in his defense – and stipulate to his disbarment without admitting to the charges laid out by the bar disciplinary committee.
