Disbarred Centerville attorney’s clients awarded cash
COLUMBUS — Three former clients of former attorney Charles E. Bursey II were awarded a total of $7,029 at a Friday, March 5, meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Clients Security Fund of Ohio.
Bursey, of Centerville, was permanently disbarred in December by the Ohio Supreme Court. Bursey, 39, misappropriated client money, forged their signatures, and mixed client money with his own, the court found.
The court, in a 7-0 opinion, said Bursey engaged in a pattern of dishonest conduct. In May, he was convicted of theft.
Bursey’s clients were among 34 victims of attorney theft who were awarded $93,494 at the Friday meeting, according to the supreme court, which announced the board’s actions on Tuesday, March 9.
The only other Miami Valley attorney listed was Keith J. Brown of Preble County, who has been suspended. One of his former clients was reimbursed $1,873 as a result of Mr. Brown’s failure to provide the services requested, according to the court.
