Editor’s note: Why is this very same obscene behavior allowed to continue in the Probate Court of Cook County? This Shark was advised by an attorney in a recent conversation "...a Shark, not being an attorney could not possibly know the responsibilities of an attorney...". Well...that attorney need only refer to this blog, NOTEGA, NASGA, or any of the many guardianship blogs to review attorneys who abrogated their responsibilities and are unemployed, disbarred, disgraced and incarcerated.

Cincinnati attorney permanently disbarred for stealing $9 million
Money was meant to go to charities
UPDATED 3:10 PM EST Dec 12, 2012
The Ohio Supreme Court has permanently disbarred a Cincinnati attorney convicted of stealing $9 million that a deceased client had meant to go to charities.
In a 6-0 decision announced Wednesday, the court found that former attorney Robert Leon Schwartz's actions show he was dishonest and untrustworthy and shouldn't be allowed to practice law.
The 72-year-old pleaded guilty to felony counts of mail fraud and filing a false income-tax return, and was sentenced to four years in prison in 2010.
The government said Schwartz used much of the $13 million left behind by his client, Beverly Hersh, on himself and on homes for friends and family, instead of distributing it to charities as she had instructed.
At his sentencing, Schwartz apologized and said he had dishonored his profession.
