Just looking for information about other stuff and came upon this:

"United States District Court

And this from Avvo - http://www.avvo.com:

We were already aware of this:

http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/oae/oae2004.pdf
"LESLIE A. SMALLWOOD
Admitted: 1981; Elkins Park (Pennsylvania)
Disbarment - 176 N.J. 506 (2003)
Decided: 6/20/2003
APPEARANCES BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Richard J. Engelhardt for Attorney Ethics
Respondent failed to appear
The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that disbarment was the only appropriate discipline for an attorney who was disbarred in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for knowingly misappropriating clients’ trust funds in the amount of at least $139,500.

I can’t find anything like suspension or disbarment for Leslie Smallwood’s co-counsel Coatesville Attorney Michael Whitlow in the case for which she was disbarred; but then he is a Chester County Attorney.
