Disbarrment Robert J. Mcdonald

Attorney and client -- disbarrment proceeding -- absence of attorney at hearing on charges. 1. Where an attorney accused of misconduct purposely absents himself at the hearing before the referee so as to prevent the prosecutor of the charges from calling him for cross-examination under the statute, the court will assume that those who secured personal injury cases for him were authorized by him to do what was done to secure them.
