Atlanta lawyer gives up license amid probe
Atlanta lawyer Hendrickx Toussaint has surrendered his law license amid an investigation into possible financial misconduct.
Toussaint, who has not been charged, is currently the subject of a federal criminal investigation, the Georgia Supreme Court said in a ruling issued Monday. Toussaint once served as an escrow agent for companies seeking to acquire, rehabilitate and resell 36 residential properties. Between July 2009 and April 2010, he conducted more than 60 counter transactions from his trust account involving the funds and failed to keep complete records of the transactions, the ruling said.
