That's a Lot of Tickets

If suspended lawyer Diana C. Minella owes you money, the Express-News reports that there's a creditor hearing in a San Antonio bankruptcy court today regarding her debts--some $627,953 in unsecured nonpriority claims.

Minella is the San Antonio lawyer who surrendered her law license after she left hundreds of clients in the lurch, taking their money but neglecting to take care of their traffic tickets as promised--a violation of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.

Interestingly, Minella sued the city of San Antonio in 2003 after she was fired. The district court dismissed the lawsuit, and the Fifth Circuit upheld the dismissal.
