In re: Eric F. Kayira

Summary

The Court disbarred Eric F. Kayira for knowingly misappropriating client funds, repeatedly using one client's funds to pay other clients and personal or firm expenses, and engaging in related dishonesty. The Court held that the extensive pattern of misconduct warranted disbarment despite claimed personal and emotional problems, remorse, cooperation, restitution, and an unsupported assertion of bipolar disorder.
