Supreme Court of New Jersey
In the Matter of Furman L. Templeton, Jr., an Attorney at Law
June 6, 198599 N.J. 365
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Disciplinary Review Board’s recommendation and imposed a five‑year suspension on attorney Furman L. Templeton, Jr., with conditions including psychiatric evaluation, restitution to the Clients’ Security Fund, and supervised practice before reinstatement. The Court found the pattern of neglect, failure to return retainers, and lack of cooperation warranted suspension rather than disbarment.
