An attorney in Connecticut has been suspended from practicing law for five years due to significant procedural lapses in handling an estate case. The disciplinary action arises from his failure to file a case in probate court as required, along with the misplacement or loss of the last will and testament belonging to a client’s relative. This case adds to the attorney’s already extensive record of disciplinary issues. For more details on the case, refer to the report by Law360.
