In the Matter of Nicole D. Fraley

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court found that Nicole Fraley committed extensive trust-account violations, including commingling and conversion of client funds, and engaged in repeated fraud and dishonesty during the disciplinary investigation and proceedings. The Court independently reviewed the record, upheld the findings on all three counts, and concluded that the criminal and fraudulent nature of the misconduct, together with Fraley's lack of insight, made her unfit to practice law. The Court therefore disbarred her effective immediately.
