CARSON CITY -- The license of a Las Vegas lawyer who regularly appears on KVBC-TV, Channel 3, was temporarily suspended Tuesday by the Supreme Court, pending resolution of disciplinary proceedings against him.
In the order, the Supreme Court said lawyer Douglas C. Crawford "appears to have misappropriated over $100,000 in client funds" and has commingled his personal funds with client funds.
"Additionally, he has attempted to prevent clients from complaining to the State Bar, and has failed to respond to bar counsel's repeated inquiries," the order notes.
Jim Rogers, the owner of Channel 3, said Crawford will be suspended from the television station pending final resolution of his case.
