David K. Roland, a Hubbard, Ohio attorney, has been banned in Ohio from practicing law because he knowingly concealed over $850,000 of his client’s marital assets during divorce proceedings. The Supreme Court’s decision was unanimous. The panel concluded that Roland committed numerous ethical violations that he knew were illegal and/or fraudulent.
They felt that due to Roland’s refusal to cooperate in the investigation, as well as his participation in an asset-hiding scheme, an indefinite suspension from practicing law was warranted. Furthermore, the board cited many cases where attorneys had been permanently disbarred for engaging in similar unethical activities and misconduct.
