Solicitor ordered to pay €10,000 to beneficiaries
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal yesterday found solicitor Brian Gogan guilty of professional misconduct on eight separate charges over his handling of the case.
The inquiry heard that Mr Grogan, who runs a legal practice in Lucan, Co Dublin, had failed to deal with the estate of a client, Margaret Carton — who died in September 2001 — in a timely manner, including the sale of a house and funeral expenses.
