FRANCISO
FACTS:
Mark alleged that through fraud, Caroline was able to sell the
Forbes property using his own money and failed to remit the
proceeds thereof to him.
On the other hand, Caroline alleged that she was shocked and
felt betrayed in the affidavit executed by Atty. Francisco as the
latter actively participated in the transactions and was asked by
the former for legal consequences of the sale. Atty. Francisco
also acted as the personal lawyer, corporate lawyer and
secretary of Clarion. Hence, she filed a disbarment complaint
against Atty. Francisco.
HELD: YES.
