COLUMBUS — The Ohio Supreme Court has suspended Atty. Albert A. Palombaro of Boardman from legal practice for one year after a disciplinary panel found he mismanaged client funds, but the top court stayed the suspension upon certain conditions.
They include monitoring of Palombaro’s bank accounts by another lawyer, making full restitution to those affected and attending a law office management seminar.
The high court placed Palombaro on two years of monitored probation.
In a recent disciplinary hearing, Palombaro admitted neglecting his legal practice due to his wife’s serious illness and acknowledged he needed to address the problems in his law practice immediately.
