Ind. Courts - Criminal charges filed against Plymouth attorney

From the Pilot News, a story by Carol Anders that begins:

PLYMOUTH — Criminal charges were filed Tuesday by the State of Indiana against Attorney Ronald Gifford of Plymouth.

Gifford was charged with two counts of forgery/counterfeiting (D felony) and two counts of deception (A misdemeanor).

According to court documents, the charges stem from actions taken in 2006 and 2007 by Gifford when he represented two Garden Court projects known as Fairfield Garden Court and Mentone Garden Court.

In late 2008, the Indiana Supreme Court ordered that the license to practice law of Gifford be suspended for a period of at least nine months starting Nov. 14 in connection with alleged professional misconduct concerning the projects.

Here is the Oct. 6, 2008 Supreme Court Order.
