Trusts ban for Hendersonville attorney Edney in consent order
North Carolina State Bar won a Wake County Superior Court order blocking Hendersonville attorney J. Michael Edney from receiving or disbursing money to clients or others and from serving in fiduciary roles until a bar audit of his trust accounts is completed. The four page injunction requires production of bank records client files and settlement agreements and cites prior failure to provide subpoenaed documents. Edney holds a county commissioner post and disputed the timing while cooperating with the bar on the audit.
