Supreme Court of Louisiana

In Re: Harold D. Register

February 14, 2018

Summary

The court independently reviewed the disciplinary record and found that Harold D. Register failed to provide competent and diligent representation, converted client and third-party funds, and caused actual harm. Because the deprivation of settlement funds lasted more than six years, restitution remained unpaid, and aggravating factors accompanied the misconduct, the court imposed disbarment, retroactive to the date of interim suspension, and ordered restitution and payment of the remaining settlement obligation.
