The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered that a Philadelphia attorney’s license be suspended for four years by consent Wednesday after the Office of Disciplinary Counsel found that he misappropriated over $35,000 from his client’s estate funds for personal purchases.

In 2010, attorney William M. Labkoff learned that approximately $80,000 was being held in Elizabeth F. Craft’s estate following her death in January 1991. After her successors also died, the money was to be distributed to certain organizations. The case was later passed along to Philadelphia attorney Wendell Grimes.
