EXCLUSIVE: Bill Cosby's ex lawyer Monique Pressley has been suspended indefinitely for 'disability' after she faced disbarment amid claims she misappropriated funds for personal use and transferred thousands into husband's overdrawn account
- Monique Pressley was suspended from practicing law in Washington D.C. in August, DailyMail.com can reveal
- Pressley became well-known for her appearances as a legal contributor across news networks and had represented Bill Cosby in his sex assault case
- She was suspended 'based on disability' a month after a disciplinary counsel presented 'clear and convicting evidence' of her alleged misconduct
- It is unclear if the order of suspension based on disability came as a result of the committee findings
- Three former clients of Pressley's accused her of taking retainers and quickly depleting the funds on personal expenditures without doing any significant work
- Instead of keeping the money in an escrow account, Pressley cashed the checks and had money deposited into her husband's account, the counsel claimed
- She is accused of driving a client to the bank to pay her $2,400 in cash
- A $15k payment that did go into an escrow account was wiped from the account within days, because Pressley transferred the money elsewhere, papers state
- A former client of Pressley's, who she knew from church, said she was 'blindsided' by the lawyer and felt 'victimized' by someone she 'utterly trusted'
- In the hearing committee's report, Pressley was accused of showing 'a consistent disregard for the disciplinary process'
