A disbarred Marshall County attorney accused of stealing $66,000 from clients is out of jail on a $20,000 bond.
Law enforcement agents arrested Lawton Fuller, 54, of Albertville on Jan. 29 on an eight-count indictment.
Curtis Summerville, spokesman for the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, said Friday Fuller faces two charges of first-degree theft, three for possession of a forged instrument and three for forgery.
The Alabama Supreme Court disbarred Fuller on July 9 after the State Bar's Disciplinary Commission found evidence leading it to believe that Fuller had misappropriated and mismanaged client trust funds.

I don't think Lawton Fuller should have been allowed bail.
Where is the had strong fist of punishment for Lawton Fuller while
in position of trust who
was found to have:
"misappropriated and mismanaged client trust funds" by the Alabama State Bar's Disciplinary Commission which for us little people, the chumps the wording would be: THEFT!!!
Where and when does this soft approach stop?
Hey, that money should be saved for resitution instead of paid out for bail!
One more professional in a position of trust that can't be trusted! Who now provides for the trustee?
