In Re: Peter Brian Derouen

Summary

The court found that respondent neglected a client's personal-injury matter, converted settlement funds belonging to the client and medical providers, failed to cooperate with the disciplinary investigation, and violated the Rules of Professional Conduct. Because the misconduct involved substantial deprivation, actual harm, failure to make restitution, and aggravating factors, the court imposed disbarment and ordered full restitution. The opinion contains no separate writings.
