New Hampshire Lawyer Facing Disbarment Over Forged Real Estate Documents

Leigh Bosse, a New Hampshire Real Estate agent and Lawyer, is facing disbarment for forging documents in relation to the sale of a home. Bosse has already lost his real estate license over the matter, but losing his law license would make much more sense.
The charges stem from February 2003. According to facts agreed on by both sides, Bosse signed an Emerald Lake landowner’s name on two real estate documents - an exclusive listing agreement and a purchase-and-sale agreement - for property he hoped to sell and submitted the documents to a listing service. Bosse lost his real estate license in 2004 for the incident and is facing criminal charges for forgery.
At the original committee hearing, McCafferty asked for disbarment and Bosse asked for public censure.
In its decision to suspend his license, the committee concluded that Bosse had “violated a fundamental duty” of honesty and integrity and that he had acted “deliberately and intentionally,” with a “dishonest and selfish motive.” The committee rejected disbarment because Bosse already lost his real estate license and admitted to the offense and because he believed the landowner would be forwarding the documents.
In McCafferty’s motion, filed last week, she said that it is undisputed that Bosse committed “egregious misconduct” and that such an act of dishonesty “seriously adversely reflects on a lawyer’s fitness to practice.” via the Concord Monitor
Does any one else find it ironic that the he lost his real estate license so quickly, but to be disbarred is taking 3 years? You talk about a self protecting cartel, the legal profession has to be one of the worst even when they should be held to the highest standard as they are the peoples part of the judicial system.
What makes matters worse, or more undestandable if you are jaded, Leigh Bosse has served as the majority leader of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and also as a sitting judge. No wonder why he thought that the laws of the state did not apply to him. Ugh…
