Matter of Disbarment of Peter T. Roman, 487 U.S. 1261 (decided September 15, 1988): Stole client funds, forged signatures, lied to the court about funds being distributed, 526 So. 2d 60. From his website we see he’s been back in action, though Westlaw has no reported cases from him since the disbarment date. His bio talks more about his life as a globe-trotting martial arts master than it does about his legal experience, which I suppose is understandable. http://www.romanromanlaw.com/firm-over view/peter-t-roman
