A woman hired Robertson in a divorce case and she won the funds from the sale of her home and her ex-husband’s retirement account. The client’s money was in Robertson’s trust account initially, but the lawyer transferred the money to himself in January 2017, said a judgment of disbarment. She never received her funds. The attorney’s mishandling of two business litigation matters for a different client, which ended with that client facing significant judgments, are also reasons behind Robertson’s disbarment.
His cases are just one of the lawyer discipline actions against 21 total attorneys included on the May disciplinary list announced Friday by the State Bar of Texas Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel. Two other attorneys on the list were also disbarred, while eight lawyers received partially or fully probated suspensions of their law licenses. Public reprimands were issued to two attorneys, and another eight lawyers were privately reprimanded, according to the list.
Here are links to the public disciplinary documents in the rest of the cases on the May discipline list.
