(BCN) — A San Francisco attorney faces corrective activity for overcharging a trust account customer by $1.33 million, the California State Bar stated Friday.
The Office of Chief Trial Counsel stated it intends to look for disbarment of Drexel Andrew Bradshaw since he formerly breached his fiduciary obligations with an additional trust customer in 2017.

The bar submitted the current charges in State Bar Court on Feb. 2, charging Bradshaw of expert misbehavior and moral violations in overcharging a customer with psychological health and wellness and various other problems, the state bar stated.
“Bradshaw awarded himself $1.33 million in fees without authorization, which represented 53 percent of the entire $2.5 million trust he was hired to assist with,” the state bar stated. “This included advance fees that increased from an agreed-upon $7,500, to a never-approved $750,000 — fees that were ‘wholly disproportionate to the services rendered so as to shock the conscience.'”
