Description: Bonnie Lindstrom (WSBA No. 21376, admitted 1992), of Federal Way, has been disbarred effective September 29, 1998, by order of the Supreme Court following review of a Stipulation to Discipline. The discipline is based upon her taking $5,465 from the South King County Bar Association while serving as its treasurer.
Lindstrom took sums ranging from $200 to $700 on 15 separate occasions from January 1996 to August 1997. She repaid some of the money in January 1997 and June 1997 and repaid the balance in August 1997. The money she took was deposited into her personal checking account and used to pay her own expenses.
Lindstrom’s conduct violated RPC 8.4(c), which prohibits a lawyer from engaging in acts involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation, and constituted conduct demonstrating unfitness to practice law in violation of RLD 1.1(p).
Leland G. Ripley of Seattle represented Lindstrom. Disciplinary Counsel Linda B. Eide represented the Bar Association.
