A Pender County lawyer who was disbarred in late 2008 amid allegations of misappropriating client funds now faces felony charges, officials say.
Agents with the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation arrested Kevin Joseph Strickland, 39, and charged him with financial crimes as well as an allegation he set fire to his own law office.
Strickland, who civil court records show practiced real estate law and negotiated multi-million dollar deals, was booked into the Pender County jail under a $500,000 bond, according to a statement from the SBI.
On Friday, jail officials said Strickland was released Thursday on a $200,000 bond.

It is not surprising to read about a dishonest lawyer, what is suprising is that he was caught and held accountable.
Sounds like a real piece of work!
Good one, Justice Gal! And right on point.
