Re: questionable conduct of attorney

This is a serious violaton by the attorney.

How do you know he used the money for those purposes?

You need to immediately demand, in writing, to him, that he provide an accounting and provide to you the monies. You may need to contact the State Bar and several other steps thereafter.
