The Board approved two claims against disbarred attorney Peter G. Lennington totaling $2,500. The Board has now approved four claims against Lennington totaling $13,250. Lennington last practiced in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was disbarred by the Minnesota Supreme Court in January 2022.

The Client Security Fund was established by the Minnesota Supreme Court, and is funded by Minnesota attorneys to reimburse clients who suffer loss of money or other property due to the dishonest conduct of their attorney. The Fund does not cover losses resulting from negligence of lawyers. The Fund is administered by a Board appointed by the Court, and consists of five lawyer members and two non-lawyer members. All serve without compensation as a public service.
