““In each of the cases, funds of the client were not delivered to the client when they should have been or when they were requested. In each of the cases, the funds were, in fact, put to the attorney’s own use so that when asked he was unable to comply with his client’s demands to pay over funds rightfully due the client. Furthermore, in our review, the record clearly establishes that these are not isolated examples of missed communications. and oversights but, rather, represent an established standard of practice engaged in by the Respondent. That his conduct clearly violates Canon D.R. 9 — 102(A)(2), (B)(4) is beyond dispute. Nor can it be disputed that the conduct of the Respondent is the type calculated to bring disrepute upon the law and the profession. The loose, careless and dilatory practices followed by the Respondent in the handling of an accounting for, or more accurately, the failure to account for funds entrusted to him is clearly an abuse of the privilege secured to him by his license ***.””
