Pennsylvania Supremes Indefinitely Suspend Lawyer's Bar Ticket, Freeze Assets Pending Further Disciplinary Action; Online Reviews Reportedly Indicate Attorney Pocketed Client Cash For Mortgage & Foreclosure-Related Services, Then Stopped Responding To Calls, Emails

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports:

• The Pennsylvania Supreme Court temporarily suspended a Monroeville mortgage attorney's law license and froze his assets Tuesday pending further disciplinary action.
  
  Daniel James Domenick, managing attorney at Domenick Legal Group PLLC, could not be reached Tuesday.
  
  An order from the Supreme Court affirmed his earlier temporary suspension and said all financial institutions where Dominick holds money on behalf of his clients should freeze those accounts pending further action.
  
  Domenick must also give the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the state's prosecutors in cases of lawyer discipline, a list of all his clients and bank accounts.
  
  The Supreme Court and the Disciplinary Board do not make public the detailed complaint against an attorney until the court issues a final disciplinary order, but online reviews of Domenick's services claim he had taken money for mortgage- and foreclosure-related legal services and stopped responding to clients' calls and emails.
  
  The Mortgage Relief Project, a privately funded service in Garden Grove, Calif., that refers clients to mortgage defense attorneys, posted a message on its website about Domenick last December, noting that “MRP has received constant complaints” about him and his firm. “For any consumer that is or was a client of Domenick Legal Group PLLC, MRP recommends that you begin by contacting the Pennsylvania State Bar Association.”
