People v. Lynda Elizabeth Carter

Summary

The Hearing Board found that Lynda Elizabeth Carter mishandled unearned client funds, failed to communicate adequately and properly withdraw from a representation, and failed to pay a court reporter's invoice. It found reckless rather than knowing conversion in the Alford matter and no conversion in the Grewal matter. The Board imposed an eighteen-month suspension, restitution, costs, and educational requirements as conditions of reinstatement.
