Summary

The court disbarred Alex Frank Gallegos after finding by default that he knowingly converted trust funds while serving as trustee, failed to preserve third-party property, and engaged in dishonest conduct. The conversion caused actual financial harm to the trust's sole beneficiary, and the aggravating circumstances, combined with the absence of mitigating evidence, supported disbarment, restitution, and costs. No separate opinions were issued.
