The New Jersey Supreme Court filed a reprimand against a Hawthorne attorney March 14 after a disciplinary investigation found he commingled thousands of dollars between bank accounts and failed to safeguard client funds.

Stanley R. Sherer, admitted to the New Jersey bar in 1985 and the Georgia bar in 1981, violated three aspects of RPC 1.15(a)—commingling, negligent misappropriation, and failure to safeguard the funds of clients and third parties—as well as RPC 1.15(b); RPC 1.15(d) and R. 1:21-6; and RPC 8.1(b), for failing to deliver client funds that were entitled, recordkeeping, and failure to cooperate with disciplinary authorities, according to the Disciplinary Review Board’s decision.
